"Batia Suter's work intuitively situates found images in new contexts to provoke surprising reactions and significative possibilities. This volume follows on from the first Parallel Encyclopedia, published in 2007. Underlying themes of Suter's practice are the 'iconification' and 'immunogenicity' of old images, and the circumstances by which they become charged with new associative values."--Http://www.ideabooks.nl/ (viewed on October 14, 2016).

Summary:

Batia Suter?s work intuitively situates found images in new contexts to provoke surprising reactions and significative possibilities. This volume follows on from the first 'Parallel Encyclopedia', published in 2007. Underlying themes of Suter?s practice are the "iconification" and "immunogenicity" of old images, and the circumstances by which they become charged with new associative values. "In my work, I collect groups of images based on various themes and characteristics, and I investigate how they can manipulate each other, depending on where and how they are placed. In the process of making this book, narrative lines unfolded before my eyes as I shifted images around."
