Fineberg, Jonathan Rizk, Mysoon 2015-09-28T15:53:08Z 2015-09-28T15:53:08Z 10000-01-01 1997 1997 A collage aesthetic dominated Wojnarowicz's fifteen-year career. He developed it, as a formal strategy, into an astonishing diversity of manifestations, with varying media, contexts, and a range of overall effects. Through collage, he depicted the collision between the personal and the social, between the margins and the mainstream, between a disappeared past and an apocalyptic present, while conveying the intensity of our age's information overload. His use of pre-printed materials alluded to the insidious pervasiveness of the pre-invented world, able to coat all available surfaces and infect every aspect of being. The amalgamated bodies of his cyborg protagonists evoked key elements of the postmodern condition: a fragmented sense of identity, an alienating loss of organic coherence, and an irrevocable disconnectedness from prior history.
