ARTIST'S RESEARCH: David Hockney

David Hockney begun to produce his photo collages in the 1980's entitling them 'the joiners', using polaroid and 35mm processed colour-prints.
Similar to the work of Maurizio Galimberti, Hockey uses polaroid snaps of one subject to create a composite image through patchwork.










PROCESS:

1. Take polaroid photographs of a subject
2. Arrange them in a grid layout
3. Move the subject or the camera around the subject throughout the photography process

I particularly like the idea of creating a narrative through the movement and placement of the images, going against the conventions of photography as a 'still' image.
