"Collage for Mies van der Rohe" is a series of large-scale photographic interventions with Mies van der Rohe’s buildings across the Chicago land. This series of interventions is based on speculative paper collages made by Mies van der Rohe in his American period from the late 1930’ and on (especially the Rasor house in Wyoming). In these Collages, Mies used landscape photographs to demonstrate the function of the windows and the way they frame nature. In this project, Assaf Evron uses Mies’ own strategy of collage and re-applies it onto his buildings, where the representation of architecture collapses into the actual architecture, where nature and architecture are welded into a surface and the fetishized transparency of Mies is transgressed.
