I have produced an image that follows the Dadaism art movement.
This image that has been produced, contains a hidden meaning of that when beauty is destroyed by the modern components, beauty in the world has been lost by the modern world.
This image relates to the key theme of valuing the materials in a modern world. It follows this theme because the cable that was attached to the image has changed the meaning for the original image as it destroys the aura of the flowers.
The image has been mechanically reproduced as it includes an object from the modern world; copper cable. The image was then saved as an electronic version as well as using photo manipulation software (Photoshop) to change the effect of the image. The effect that was changed were the colour.
The technology used; Photoshop has given a new imagination for the production for the image as the intensity of the colours has been changed and made to look different and reproduced.
This image relates to the ‘Dadaist Manifesto’ as ‘there is a great negative work of destruction to be accomplished’ (Tzara, T 1918). I agree with this quote as it shows that for a Dadaism image, there has to be a destruction in the aura so that the image follows the Dadaism art movement as this is the top main theme for Dadaism.
