This is the work of John Stezaker - see (lots) more here. It's a bit Surrealist, and "an elegant juxtaposition", yes? That phrase came from the Saatchi Gallery's write-up, which also says: "John Stezaker’s work re-examines the various relationships to the photographic image: as documentation of truth, purveyor of memory, and symbol of modern culture."Be that as it may, the photo started some thoughts/imaginings about CQ's upcoming Pictorial Consequences challenge... which is very like this one, reported earlier.
Stezaker's show at the Whitechapel Gallery runs till 18 March. "With over 90 works from the 1970s to today, the artist reveals the subversive force of images, reflecting on how visual language can create new meaning."
