Résumé du livre
"The room is a compromise. In this suite of giclee photomontages, Unruly Memoirs: Nature Bites Back, artist Jane Zusters.... counterpoints that feeling of sanctuary (at something of a premium in post-quake Christchurch) with the external and symbolic realities. The wall of a tranquil, cosy-looking bedroom dissolves to reveal a busy and seismically-battered urban scene beyond. Elsewhere nature reclaims a room like something out of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are (1963) ... The effect is surreal and dream-like, balanced by the illusion of objective reality created by photography. Each montage is an exercise in carefully judged composition"-- Page 7.
