High Modernity

Richard Hamilton was a London born designer who spent most of his artistic career producing prints and collages. His work often focused on the idea of the future and what life might be like as technology and arts advanced over the years as this was happening more and more rapidly at the time. The collage below shows very misogynistic views with the naked lady on the couch, young romance poster and cleaning lady. It suits the male gaze with the "ideal man" and again the sexist imagery. 
Below is my version of a room from the future, obviously I took a more comedic approach but I realised how hard it is to envision what the future might be like as its hard to imagine what you don't have (wise words, I know). I did have fun making the collage despite not at all being a fan of collages.
