Over the years, Jarmusch has honed his collage practice, producing hundreds of works using newspaper clippings layered on cardstock. Newsprint imagery is cleverly and humorously manipulated, heads and faces are removed and replaced with juxtaposing or absurd imagery. 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. In Some Collages, these small-scale (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.  from SOME COLLAGES by Jim Jarmusch, Published by ANTHOLOGY EDITIONS; 2021
