In its first instance as art practice among the historical avant-garde, photomontage was considered indispensable for its claim to intervene in perceptual processes, stimulating a critical mode of apprehension that would redirect the viewer away from conventions of aesthetic experience and towards a lived reception of art with pronounced relevance to the sociopolitical landscape. The effect was understood as structural, that is, activated not so much by direct political content, but by the stark and shocking effects of juxtaposition. By this measure, one challenge to contemporary photomontage is clear: in a postindustrial and postdigital visual landscape dominated by the structural fragmentation of the attention economy, the ‘simultaneity of the radically disparate’ (as Peter Bürger put it) might no longer present as heterodoxy but rather threaten to sink into invisibility. Yet with the migration off-screen of the effects of electronic media, a new urgency around moving photomontage structures into physical, public space is rising in contemporary practices. Shannon Ebner’s multi-part project A Hudson Yard (2014–15) is emblematic of the new ways in which artists are manipulating photomontage as a form of fully sensory experience that gives the medium room to play critically in both virtual and material space. By constructing subtle interruptions of naturalised commercial space, A Hudson Yard activates a détournement of instrumentalised language, using structures of juxtaposition to divert the discursive surfaces of public space away from consumption and towards what could be called a public poesis.

现在完美连续中的蒙太奇

作为历史前卫艺术实践的第一个实例,蒙太奇被认为是不可或缺的,因为它声称干预感知过程,激发了一种批判性的理解模式,将观众从审美经验的传统转移到对现实生活的接受。与社会政治景观具有明显相关性的艺术。这种效果被理解为结构性的,也就是说,不是由直接的政治内容激活,而是由并置的明显和令人震惊的效果激活。以这种方式衡量,当代蒙太奇面临的一个挑战是显而易见的:在注意力经济的结构碎片化主导的后工业和后数字视觉景观中,“完全不同的同时性”(正如彼得·布尔格所说)可能不再表现为异端邪说,而是有可能陷入隐形。然而,随着电子媒体影响移出屏幕,在当代实践中,将蒙太奇结构移动到物理公共空间的新紧迫性正在上升。Shannon Ebner 的多部分项目 A Hudson Yard (2014-15) 象征着艺术家将蒙太奇作为一种完全感官体验的形式,从而为中型空间在虚拟和物质空间中发挥批判性发挥的新方式。通过对自然化商业空间的微妙中断,哈德逊庭院激活了工具化语言的迂回,
