"The curiouser the better."
- collage is a demonstration of the many becoming one with the one never fully resolved because of the many that continue to impinge upon it
- collages have no centre or “boss”
- the parts of a collage compete for a place in some “unfinished” scene
- law of mosaics: how to deal with parts in the absence of wholes
- resolution & conclusion are inherent in a plot-driven narrative
- story seems to say that “everything happens for a reason”- this may not be the case
- absence of plot leaves the reader room to think about things
- collage as an evolution beyond narrative
- montage is created through the juxtaposition of shots
- through the juxtaposition of shots how can we control what our audience takes from it? or do we just hope they make the assumptions we intended?
- a mosaic flaunts the fact that it is made of parts
