Urban Landscapes As Acts of Collage

Luigi Galimberti Faussone investigates the works of Bel Falleiros, Larissa Fassler, and Junebum Park in Issue 12 of Kolaj Magazine.

Faussone writes:

The works of Bel Falleiros (Brazilian, based in São Paulo), Larissa Fassler (Canadian, based in Berlin) and Junebum Park (South Korean, based in Seoul) look quite different from each other at first glance. However, they have in common two fundamental characteristics: Firstly, the three artists experience the city through meticulous and prolonged observation and exploration, before presenting the outcome of their research in the form of artwork. Secondly, their works take the form of collage at some stage of the artistic process, although the final products are often presented with a different medium.

Faussone’s article investigates specific aspects of each artist’s practice: Junebum Park’s videos, Larissa Fassler’s enormous collage map prints of London and Berlin, Bel Falleiros’ collages of the neighbourhoods where the artist collected the works’ materials.
