Kuroda - Collages

For this series of large-format collages, Aki Kuroda first made carborundum engravings, thus sculpting the paper which is then covered with a deep gray print. Then, randomly from the life of his workshop, he cut out, sometimes tore and pasted images sometimes from his archives, exhibition views, boxes, catalogs, and sometimes from Japanese magazines. All these elements, between the West and Asia, compose strange self-portraits.
