“Making collages seems to be
easy... They are still considered
non-professional, something
dilettante, and something nonserious, something suspicious.”
THOMA S HIRSCHHORN
Bricolage, French for “tinkering” is the construction a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available. This process , in literature and in art, is about shaping a tex t or the meaning of an image by reference to other tex ts or images , making meaning within intertextuality. Derrida pointed out the necessity of borrowing from conventions or heritage, which may be coherent or in a state of ruin, so that all discourse is bricoleur. Rather than figuring things out analytically, a bricolage approach is a way to learn and solve problems by play ing around. A bricoleur appropriates images and tex t in ways that erase or subvert their
original meaning. The collage can also be a way to confront
important ideas about artmaking such as appropriation, originality and visual culture.
