Cut Out - A Feminist History of Photo Collage

Cut Out explores the connection between photography, feminist art, and collage from the 19th century to today, featuring works from the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection. The book demonstrates how female artists have used collage and related techniques such as photomontage and photogram to challenge and reconstruct understandings of identity through fragmented and contradictory expressions.

It highlights the concept of femmage as a feminist and political method that reclaims traditional "female" crafts. Through historical and modern artists, the book shows how collage continues to be used to challenge dominant narratives and expand the artistic and political potential of photography.
