John Stezaker,
The Voyeur:
Photoroman
Collages,
1976–1979

@ Petzel
— 

Where cinema
promises a space
in which reality & 
illusion seamlessly
dissolve, the
photo–roman was
an opportunity for
me to explore the
seams.
” 

Photo–Romans: 
Are a narrative-
focussed series of
photographs, 
which, when put
together, tell a
unique story. 

The exhibition: 
Is London-based
Stezaker's 5th 
solo at Petzel
showcasing the 
artist's collection 
of Spanish photo–
roman collages, 
predominately
featuring black
and white female-
orientated romantic
plots. 

The image
becomes real.
The act becomes
real. Reality and
illusion become
blurred...
