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 appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
