Inspired by Paul Citroen's photomontage, I made my own using scenes from the film A Clockwork Orange including all the scenes involving Milk.
"Everyone at the Korova Milkbar drinks milk. Alex drinks milk with almost every meal. Yet, none of the adults seem to be drinking it. Hmm… Could this mean that the milk-drinking teenagers are bunch of babies? You bet. Here associated with the naïve and immature, milk is the substance for infants – unsophisticated and helpless. For the "modern youth" that nurse on the stuff laced with hallucinogens, the explanation is that they are young people who have chosen to add poison to their otherwise innocent slates, making them the evil youth that they are."
Photomontages are a form of appropriation art, because it involves using other people's work. Although the images involved are unoriginal, the new organisation of the images changes the piece entirely.
