Although best known for his cinematic career, over the years Jim Jarmusch has produced hundreds of pieces of collage art. Drawing inspiration from the largest medium of cultural documentation –newspapers – Jarmusch crafts each work by layering newsprints on cardstock. In Some Collages, these notecard-size pieces not only pay homage to the documentation medium but are a reminder of how even mundane images can be reconfigured into work that is alternatively funny, scary and strange.Doppelgänger Andy Warhols are posed in a vast tunnel not unlike the depths of the Large Hadron Collider, Patty Hearst’s mugshots drift across Edwardian portraits, and a man’s identity is disguised with a coyote’s head: maybe he was a celebrity, politician, perp, or all three.
