Right in front of you is the full text of the play by William Shakespeare "Romeo and Juliet", but not at all in the form in which we are used to seeing and reading it. In the collaged variation of the artist Sam Winston, we can hardly read Shakespeare's tragedy, because this is not a text at all, but a set of words, but far from chaotic, but logical and thought out by the author.
The entire text of the play "Romeo and Juliet" is presented in the form of a typographic collage, where each word is cut out by Sam Winston from the book. But instead of presenting the tragedy in chronological order, the artist divided the text into three emotional categories: passion, anger and indifference. And therefore, the entire set of cut words forms three different groups of typographic combinations that merge into one huge verbal collage.
In Sam Winston's typographic installations, the boundaries between words and the whole text merge, the literal meaning of words and their artistic potential is separated, words become purely visual means. The printed text is transformed and transformed, which makes the viewer perceive the picture as a whole, without trying to read the distorted text. Through the study of language, Sam Winston creates sculptures, drawings, writes books that raise the question of our understanding of words as carriers of a certain message and idea, as well as information.
