art

Emily Allchurch uses the medium of photography and digital collages to reconstruct paintings and prints by old masters from contemporary pieces. She photographs places that artists such as Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778), Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Ä. (1525 / 30–1569) or Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) used them as a subject and created huge collections of motifs. She selects hundreds from the photographs she has taken and adds them to create a seamless new "fictional" space. The resulting photographic collages show the change of times and the changes in the landscape of subject and location, as well as their history and culture.

The artist reproduces her photos as prints and as light boxes.
