This is Tomorrow

This weeks blog task was to create a collage in the style of the work, "What makes todays homes so different, so appealing?" by Richard Hamilton. The idea was to create our own version of the famous pop art piece, incorporating recognisable images from current culture and society.

Within my collage, which I created using photoshop, I have incorporated famous figures including; Kim Kardashian-West, Kanye West and Theresa may (on the tv). I wanted to include figures that many people find controversial, as I feel that in todays society people look to celebrity and talk about politics more than they ever used to. I have also included a child sat on an iPad, as many children are being introduced to technology at much younger ages and spend less time playing outside, which has spurred many arguments as to wether technology is damaging for the youth. Within the background of the image, though the window, a pro- democracy riot can be seen, which is occurring in Hong Kong, due to their government being a communist party and the people wanting to have more say in who governs them. As a link to the original  piece, instead of including a moon, I have added mars coming through the ceiling, as there has been much talk about whether humans could survive on mars and if anyone will ever get there. Extra quirky pieces I have added to my collage is "the world record egg" which got more likes than Kylie Jenners 18 million likes and has around 24.5 million likes which had people stunned. Also personal touches I added included the Art Nouveau poster and the episode of 'Stranger Things' playing on the laptop in the background and for fun I added a pug playing with a robotic vacuum cleaner. 

"Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?", Richard Hamilton, 1956, collage.
