What is "décollage"?
Décollage is an art technique where layers of materials, such as posters or advertisements, are removed or torn away to create a composition. By peeling away these layers, the artist reveals underlying images or textures, creating a visually textured and fragmented effect. This method emphasizes the contrast between the exposed and remaining layers, resulting in unique and often abstract designs that highlight the interplay of different surfaces.
