Surreal Architectural Collages by Graphic Artist Matthias Jung

German Graphic Artist Matthias Jung creates realistic collages of fictional structures. Buildings sprout landscapes populated by livestock, entire homes levitate, and contrasting architectural styles are assembled in bizarrely harmonious ways.

I am always amazed at how architectural details can evoke certain associations and feelings. This is how a latticed window conveys cosiness; one might even say it is soulful. Framework is soothing, sometimes touching. Antennas have something sinister about them. They point to something outside the picture. Concrete is cold and foreign – but maybe interesting for just that reason.
– Matthias Jung for ArchDaily

The majority of pieces in Jung’s series Houses are re-assemblies of real photographs he has taken in Northeastern Germany. By exploring the parallel relationship between order and disorder, and homogeneity and diversity, his collages bait your imagination. Like a landscape from a Terry Gilliam film his creations exhibit an enchanting sense of harmony between what could be reality and what is only imagined.
