Collage Art by Marc Mestdagh

Dialogues is a large series of small art collages (1500+ and still increasing). They are meant to be a collection of ‘traces’ balancing between time and space, the past and the future, nature and culture. Although being small (9x9 cm) it can be intrusive attaching itself to an object like a tag or sticker. Sometimes it searches for protection within a classic frame. The material that is used was never meant to be unique; it is often blurry, fragmentary and abstract. But what is really important is the dialogue between two -at first sight very different- elements: they urge to look differently and to be aware of the fact that this unique artefact’s main purpose is only to be present.
