- Abstract
This chapter addresses the methodological and interpretive potential of collage visual representations and suggests that the discrete creative strategies of collages, namely juxtapositions and visual metaphors, unravel their meaning. By reviewing the existing methodologies for analyzing visual data, we argue that there is still a lack of a process of analysis which can capture and interpret the ‘interdisciplinary’ nature of collages and surface their heuristic quality. A process of collage analysis is therefore proposed, which demonstrates how juxtapositions and visual metaphors work on a collage surface. This proposed process of collage analysis provides an enhanced understanding of the unique idiosyncrasy and ontology of this form of visual data.
