Terra Cognita

Gábor Kerekes has been working on collages for the past two years. He collects magazines, newspapers and tabloids in tons. He gathers everything, that publicizes photographs in printed form. He cuts them up into its most basic elements, with the help of a scissor.

He makes large piles of the cutouts before he creates his gigantic collages. The cutouts find their organised positions in fantasy-landscapes, mountains, islands, mass-demonstration or parties. The artist simulates dream-like scenes and scenarios in a dark room, while filtrating the masses of images that surround him. Every picture finds its place.
