Abstract
ABSTRACT: Photomontage is a pervasive method of representation in landscape architecture used frequently in both educational and professional settings. Despite the proliferation of and widespread technical proficiency for creating photomontage, there has been relatively little discussion about the important nuances that distinguish photo-realistic simulations from conceptual collage compositions. By examining the breadth of contemporary work and its theoretical and historical basis, the authors delve deeply into an analysis of the most abstract and conceptual type of photomontage, which they term eidetic photomontage. As a means of addressing criticisms of eidetic photomontage they draw examples from landscape architecture professionals and students to identify common compositional strategies and communicative strengths. The article concludes with a discussion of how eidetic photomontage is valuable to landscape architects for enriching creative process, inviting dialogue, and exploring highly speculative proposals.
