The photocollage and photomontage are very similar techniques: they both want to combine different images into one single new image. The way to achieve this goal is different.
The photocollage uses cut out pieces of images mounted (glued) onto a new image. You can recognize a photocollage on its irregular surface.
The collage technique is old and is commonly used in the other arts, even music and literature are using collage techniques.
In the Interbellum the Surrealists made full use of the (photo)collage to create their new reality. They discovered this technique in the world of advertising.
The photocollages we are presenting here come from the applied arts such as the world of printing and advertising.
