Feminist photomontages: political-aesthetic devices

Abstract

This article aims to study the aesthetic and political devices that implement feminist Martha Rosler’s and Barbara Kruger´s photomontages. For this it is necessary to identify and react against these works system imposed by patriarchy. In Martha Rosler’s photomontages we will analyze the modes of objectification of women and the ways to domopolític control is down at home. Furthermore, we go into the fittings and reassembly of images, and differential and deconstructive structure, the artist puts into practice with emancipatory purposes. In the case of Barbara Kruger will focus on his critique of the modes of representation of women in the media. Also, get up minutes of their device ownership and image-text relationship. Finally, we will balance the ethical and ontological implications underlying these aesthetic-political devices in relation to the thesis defended by the feminism.
