Abstract

[Extract] Transcultural Montage first attracts a reader with its appearance. On the front cover is a photograph of multiple eyes, a cluster of projectors, looking at every passing visitor of an installation in Geneva’s ethnographic museum. The cover is made from a smooth and soft material. The format and weight, however, make it inconvenient for travelling. The book is a dynamic collection of many perspectives about the art of montage. It offers a variety of uses of this art and critical engagements with it. The book has four parts, each having an additional thematic focus to be addressed in relation to montage: Montage as an Analytic, Montage in Writing, Montage in Film, and Montage in Museum Exhibitions. The different styles in both writings and themes make the book itself an artefact of montage of the present times.
