Jim Jarmusch is a filmmaker, writer, musician and artist.
His book ‘Some Collages’ is published by Anthology Editions.

“For my collages I use only newsprint for their sources, and most involve only the removal and/or replacement of heads or faces. I remember as a kid, I received a microscope for my birthday. The first thing I examined through its lenses was a tiny scrap of torn newspaper. I was astounded. Instead of a single, solid sheet-like material, it was in fact a tangled mass of threadlike fibers, a chaotic jungle of microscopic pulp. Ever since, the fragility and inherently temporary nature of this particular (and now nearly obsolete) material has attracted me.”
