Photolithograph, collage and embossing // To Fix It by Liliana Porter is a limited edition mixed-media print from 2018, employing photolithography, collage, and embossing techniques. The work presents a small, intricately detailed assemblage of seemingly broken or discarded metal pieces, with a miniature figure attempting to interact or fix them. This minimalist yet evocative composition invites contemplation on themes of futility, repair, and human perseverance. Porter’s use of a stark white background emphasizes the isolation of the figure, enhancing the surreal quality of the scene. The subtle shadowing adds depth, grounding the tiny figure’s efforts within an otherwise vast, empty space, creating a poignant narrative of struggle and resilience.

What is Kitsch?
Kitsch is a term used to describe cheap, commercial, sentimental, or vulgar art and objects commonly associated with popular culture. The word is borrowed from German, where it originally means trash. Since the 1920s, kitsch has been used to denote the opposite of high art, often implying that the work lacks sophistication or artistic merit.
