Collage 1


This is my first version of my collage. I chose to add a park in the background, because the word Parkett stood out to me. I don't know if that is someones name or if its about a little park, but thinking about park in the context of Oppenheim's image seems cool to me.

I chose the map of the park because I thought it showed just how opposite from nature a park is. It is plotted and planned, and there is really nothing natural about it. I thought this was similar to gloves. Gloves aren't really like real hands.. they are generic and don't really mimic what real hands are like.

The gloves also made me think of fakeness of our materialistic lives. We cover up and change what we really our (our anatomy, our veins) in order to look more generic. I chose to show an image of real hands and the drawn hands of Adam and God from the Sistine Chapel as different levels of realness and fakeness.
