2. Synopsis
Dada was an artistic and literary movement that began in 1916
in Zurich, Switzerland. It arose as a reaction to World War I, and the
nationalism, and rationalism, which many thought had brought war
about. Influenced by ideas and innovations from several early avant-
gardes– its output was wildly diverse, ranging from performance art to
poetry, photography, sculpture, painting and collage.
many cities, including Berlin, Hanover, Paris, New York and Cologne, all
of which generated their own groups. The movement is believed to
have dissipated with the arrival
of Surrealist in France.

3. History
The dada movement began around
1915 and continued until about 1923.
For many it was an anti-war (World
War I) movement protesting
traditional beliefs of art.

4. The artists were shocked by the war,
and wanted to produce something
shocking.
They wanted to be different and
produce things
that were different.

5. Chance
In an effort to defy the "rational" cultural
norms that Dada blamed for the bloodshed of
World War I, many artists within this movement
turned to "chance" to create their art. For
example, Jean Arp would create collages from
scraps of paper that he let fall onto the canvas.

This photograph has the symmetric effect of the (f)
embodied on the models body showing the similarities of
the two halves of the body of a woman.it has also
observed the rule of the intricacies of lighting and
printing, if you take a look at the back ground, there is an
angle of the lighting that is observed from right to left.
The right side is dark and continuously fades to the left.
There is also the effect of
shade on the models body that tells where the lighting is
placed.
