Each June, New Orleans Photo Alliance Gallery hosted exhibitions as part of Kolaj Fest New Orleans and, in December 2024, Kolaj Institute presented &#8220;Camera &amp; Collage&#8221; at its gallery in New Orleans. These activities along with that of a number of solo artists in residence and articles in the magazine have given us many points of reference to view and think about the intersection. In December 2025, Kolaj Institute will present the exhibition, &#8220;Pictures at the Intersection of Photography &amp; Collage&#8221; at its gallery in New Orleans and publish a similarly titled book in 2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intersection of collage and photography is not like a simple crossroads where two streets meet,&#8221; wrote exhibition curator and Kolaj Institute Director Ric Kasini Kadour, &#8220;It&#8217;s more like a round-about where many paths come together before shooting off in different directions. The deeper one gets into this inquiry, the more road metaphors fail. It may be more helpful to think of the intersection of collage and photography as neuropathways or mycelium.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the exhibition, artists use collage to disrupt the photograph in order to tell a more complex and layered story. <strong>Anindita S <\/strong>(Rancho Palos Verdes, California, USA) is collaging her photographs made of the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. She wrote, &#8220;Photography has always allowed me to pause, to observe, to take in the world with greater depth and sharpness. I have become extremely drawn to collage as an art form because of its layered effects, and possibilities for juxtaposition and abstraction. Collage seems to be a metaphor for the fragmentary nature of life, and the world as I am increasingly experiencing it.&#8221; <strong>Marcus Fields <\/strong>(East Lansing, Michigan, USA) said, &#8220;The process of collage is one that scratches a different part of my brain than photography alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1250\" src=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stephanie-Paine-Embryo-Magic.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stephanie-Paine-Embryo-Magic.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stephanie-Paine-Embryo-Magic-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stephanie-Paine-Embryo-Magic-700x875.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stephanie-Paine-Embryo-Magic-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stephanie-Paine-Embryo-Magic-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stephanie-Paine-Embryo-Magic-260x325.jpg 260w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stephanie-Paine-Embryo-Magic-799x999.jpg 799w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Embryo Magic<\/em> by Stephanie Paine<br>20&#8243;x16&#8243;; pigment prints, found photograph; 2025.

As a recent survivor of spousal suicide, photographer <strong>Heidi Smith <\/strong>(Middletown Springs, Vermont, USA) is collaging and sewing her photographs to explore the complex experience of grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1137\" src=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Phyllis-Schwartz-The-Digital-Weave.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Phyllis-Schwartz-The-Digital-Weave.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Phyllis-Schwartz-The-Digital-Weave-600x682.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Phyllis-Schwartz-The-Digital-Weave-700x796.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Phyllis-Schwartz-The-Digital-Weave-300x341.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Phyllis-Schwartz-The-Digital-Weave-768x873.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Phyllis-Schwartz-The-Digital-Weave-260x296.jpg 260w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Phyllis-Schwartz-The-Digital-Weave-879x999.jpg 879w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The Digital Weave<\/em> by Phyllis Schwartz<br>8.25&#8243;x7.25&#8243;; archival hot press bright photo paper and glue; 2025. Courtesy of the artist.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A larger corner of the intersection are those artists who take photographs to use in their collages. Artists also have a practice of cutting up photographs or collaging with film as material. <strong>Phyllis Schwartz <\/strong>(Victoria, British Columbia, Canada) cuts up and reconfigures the same photograph multiple times. <strong>Terri Sanders <\/strong>(Porter, Texas, USA) photographs mausoleums which she prints as risographs to use in her collage. <strong>Marian Tagliarino <\/strong>(Saint Petersburg, Florida, USA) uses photographs from her life and travels to rewrite her own history. <strong>Melissa Eder <\/strong>(New York, New York, USA) photographs &#8220;objects from $.99 stores\u2014plastic fruit, glittery princess crowns, cans of soda, and other disposable things that speak to the aesthetics of consumer culture&#8221; that she collages with photographs of places that hold personal significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent scholarship by British academic Freya Gowrley proposed that collage is as much about the fragment as it is about the glue. <strong>Flanzella <\/strong>(Dallas, Texas, USA) sets the scene of her photographs with fragments like pictures in a frame and bouquets of flowers to tell a story about turning thirty. <strong>Guylaine S\u00e9guin <\/strong>(Montreal, Quebec, Canada) cuts out fragments from illustrations of future residential developments, photographs them, and then recomposes them. Taken on the streets of Montreal in 1991, <em>Libert\u00e9<\/em> by <strong>Jan Kather <\/strong>(Elmira Heights, New York, USA) is a photograph of collage naturally occurring in the urban wilderness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1298\" src=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lance-Rothstein-SX-No-836.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lance-Rothstein-SX-No-836.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lance-Rothstein-SX-No-836-600x779.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lance-Rothstein-SX-No-836-700x909.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lance-Rothstein-SX-No-836-300x389.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lance-Rothstein-SX-No-836-768x997.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lance-Rothstein-SX-No-836-260x337.jpg 260w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lance-Rothstein-SX-No-836-770x999.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>SX No. 836<\/em> by Lance Rothstein<br>4&#8243;x3.5&#8243;; Polaroid photograph collaged with found trash; 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Artists engaged in darkroom or other photography processes to make pictures. Demonstrating how collage can transcend time, <strong>Claire Hansen<\/strong> (Brooklyn, New York, USA) makes tintypes using a wet plate collodion process that incorporates images taken from inside contemporary video games. <strong>Antonina Baygusheva <\/strong>(Berlin, Germany) collages with photograms made from weeds and plants collected in urban spaces. <strong>Robert Schaefer <\/strong>(New Orleans, Louisiana, USA) uses a cyanotype process to bring his fragments together. <strong>Lance Rothstein <\/strong>(Clearwater, Florida, USA) collages litter and other found material onto Polaroids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition will present examples of projects presented at Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2025. Gain of Function: New Mutations\/Old Traditions\/Collective Effervescence is a project led by <strong>Emily Denlinger <\/strong>(Cape Girardeau, Missouri, USA) that speaks to the role of art, ritual, and resilience. Building on her own work, Denlinger engaged with thirty-nine artists at the event to make locative collage photographs in an artist-created landscape inspired by global masking traditions. Also at the event, the <strong>Special Agent Collage Collective <\/strong>(Carnation, Washington, USA) sent attendees on a mission: Create a collage that is temporarily placed into the Kolaj Fest New Orleans environment in some way, whether that\u2019s on the street, at a venue, or other place where someone may encounter it. The collective, founded by Andrea Lewicki in 2021, is an international collection of collage artists who complete special missions and share them on social media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition will take place at Kolaj Institute Gallery from 10 December 2025 to 24 January 2026 as part of PhotoNOLA 2025, an annual celebration of photography in New Orleans, produced by the New Orleans Photo Alliance in partnership with museums, galleries, and alternative venues citywide. The exhibition is the fourth in a series in which Kolaj Institute is exploring the intersection of Photography &amp; Collage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/pictures-at-the-intersection-of-photography-collage-curator-talk-tour-tickets-1976491196374\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RSVP FOR THE EXHIBITION TOUR AND CURATOR TALK<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ABOUT THE NEW ORLEANS PHOTO ALLIANCE &amp; PHOTONOLA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The mission of the New Orleans Photo Alliance (NOPA) is to encourage the understanding and appreciation of photography through exhibitions, opportunities, and educational programs.

The photographer makes pictures of the world. The collagist remixes those pictures to tell a story about the world we live in. \u201cToday, we\u2019re taking more photos than at any previous time in history,\u201d noted EyeEm contributor Lars Mensel. \u201cMany photographers are asking themselves how to set their work apart from that of their peers. Photography has become less about the skill to take technically perfect pictures\u2013most modern smartphones accomplish this at the touch of a button\u2013but how pictures are combined to tell a story.\u201d In partnership with the <a href=\"https:\/\/neworleansphotoalliance.org\/\">New Orleans Photo Alliance<\/a>, the Photography &amp; Collage project explores the intersection of these two mediums. We ask, What happens when a collagist picks up the camera? What happens when a photographer collages their pictures?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout 2024 and 2025, Kolaj Institute hosted virtual residencies during which artists made work at the intersection of photography and collage. Each June, New Orleans Photo Alliance Gallery hosted exhibitions as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/kolajinstitute.org\/kolaj-fest-new-orleans\/\">Kolaj Fest New Orleans<\/a> and in December 2024, Kolaj Institute presented \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/content\/collage-exhibitions\/camera-collage\/\">Camera &amp; Collage<\/a>\u201d at its gallery in New Orleans.
