Build a Surreal Building
This assignment is inspired by the surreal collage buildings of Matthias Jung and Anastasia Savinova. Both artists create surreal architecture by stitching together photographs of different buildings. Matthias takes photographs of parts of buildings he finds interesting. He then collages these individual photographs into whimsical buildings that are placed in vast landscapes. At first glance, the buildings look completely real. Anastasia's buildings are created by deconstructing photographs of entire buildings. Parts of different buildings and other architecture are used to collage together new and interesting buildings.
ASSIGNMENT
You will create your own surreal building that is located within a landscape. Use the examples in the slideshow as inspiration, but use your own imagination to create a dreamlike, fantastic building.
