Mercedes, Thank you for your time and effort to critique this poem. Those photographers you speak of must be some of aforementioned road-kill photographers and pretty sick to bring their own shoe to an accident site! Anything for the shot, I suppose, as the Paparazzi would say. The one I saw was clearly from one of the victims.
I know what you mean about collage verses decollage. I was a little torn (pun intended) between the two. If you consider the 'new art' being a deconstruction of the vehicle and victims to their individual parts it is a decollage. If the 'exhibit' was a reconstruction of the ripped apart vehicle than it would a collage. I chose decollage to go with gestalt, with the idea that the aftermath was an examination of the parts comprising the whole. Let me know it that makes sense, as I could easily change it. I shall think on it regardless. Much obliged for your comments and insights! Cheers/Chris
