FRAGMENTS OF REALITY: COLLAGE AS A REFLECTION OF HUMANKIND
Academic research on identity of collage as a medium that embodies the principle of human perception, of a seemingly homogeneous reality, by combining disparate elements into a new context. The aim is to analyze the ability of collage to reflect the context of the society in the time in which it is created, whether in terms of technical or conceptual aspects.
