Sean Hillen:
An Unfortunate & Impossible Explosion
“I suppose I was very lucky, in that I had the motivation to make the montages, the material in the photographs I’d been taking, and that the medium lends itself perfectly to dialectic and political satire, which is what they are, to some extent. I originally was taking straight photographs for exhibit as fine-art practice, and then began sort of ‘embroidering’ them with found bits and pieces, but in the end I was taking the photos specifically for use in montages. I also believe they’re to some extent ‘thought experiments’, and adventures, trying out my ideas on myself and you rather than hitting you over the head with them.” – Sean Hillen
