Publisher's Synopsis
John Stezaker's work re-examines the various relationships to the photographic image: as documentation of truth, purveyor of memory and symbol of modern culture. In his collages, he appropriates images found in books, magazines and postcards, and uses them as ß readymades'. Through his elegant juxtapositions, Stezaker adopts the content and contexts of the original images to convey his own witty and poignant meanings.
