"When you're observant, inspiration can show up in the most unusual places, triggering a new idea to appear.”

~ Noell Oszvald

 

Photography occupied a central role in Surrealist movement. Artists such as Man Ray and Maurice Tabard, used double exposure, combination printing, montage, and technical ability in the darkroom to evoke the union of dream and reality.

Contemporary photographer, Noell Oszvald, artfully evokes photography's surrealist past in her self portrait work. Not only does she use similar techniques joining and pulling apart images, but her self portraits feel disjointed and dream like. Here her face floats untethered and also untitled.. An ode to the power of photography and also surrealism almost one hundred years after the movements founding.
