Honorable Mention
Contemporary Germanic Psychedelia
DESCRIPTION
A psychedelic collage/series that incorporates elements of photographic montage- inspired by the musical genre of Psychedelia from Germany during the late 1960's and early 1970's and Italian Film music of the same period. Music that was innovative, challenging and experimental - pushing boundaries musically and artistically. This is my contemporary take of the era!The LP covers of this period were outlandish, daring and colourful in scope, a reflection of the progressive and experimental Rock music, an era that produced a great era of bands such as Can, Faust, Guru Guru, Neu and Kraftwerk!
