“The precise organization and the camouflage of the traces create a reversal of the traditional use of collage in the history of art,” writes Myriam Dion in Kolaj<\/em> 32. “By multiplying the same images several times in a work, I develop a strategy to make the repetitive character already present in my work more complex, in addition to emphasizing the serial nature of the newspaper, which is mass-printed. These repetitions allow me to go beyond the conventional framework of the newspaper, to take it out of its linearity and to give it a unique form that contributes to metamorphosing it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
