before wallace berman...

1910 RPPC of the twinsburg band from ohio made up of a slew of tiny photos. i love how the collage of small photos deals with space - the light and landscape is not continuous from image to image but it feels like it is, yet just slightly broken. the multiple rectangles black and white images feels like a little film, or a flipbook before cutting and binding. there's a wonderful feeling of movement coming from the drum as a kind of center and the trajectory of the angles of the instruments sprouting away like a fountain... and the grid reminds me a bit of the amazing verifax collages of wallace berman.
