In this installment of our #MO_SpaceArtistshots series, we invite you to learn more about the China Collages of Roberto Chabet.

China Collages

"These collages channel the horror vacui aesthetic, the dérive maneuver, the affichiste design. But put aside all these foreign words and concepts; put aside all words altogether; and look, simply look. One gasps at the visual resonance of Chabet’s collages from decades ago with photographs of the wreckage in the wake of the tsunami that hit Japan in 2011, the year that this essay on  China Collages was first published, or in the wake of any other disaster—natural or manmade."
