Powerful, horrifying, humorous, disrespectful, gutsy, visionary ... I love this series of cultural, historical and political icons reinvented for the visual/ocular fiend ... as seen by Belgian photographer Valery Lippens.
"This Work in Progress Serie… samples from a mélange of historical, pop
culture, philosophical, comedic, and Internet image to create a montage
in the vein of the the literary montage style invented by Walter
Benjamin as part of his Arcades Project… The idea is to liberate
the suppressed “true history”… a quest for traces of the untold, the
ignored and the suppressed… producing some disturbing and provocative
outcomes…"
