Meaning & Analysis

Hockney's Joe Macdonald In His Apartment, New York, Dec 1982 exemplifies his unique use of photographic collage, a technique he termed ‘joiners’. The composition features multiple photographs pieced together to form a cohesive image, capturing the intimate and eclectic environment of Macdonald's apartment. This collage technique allows for a fragmented yet unified portrayal, highlighting different perspectives and moments within the same space.

The work aligns with Hockney's exploration of time, space, and perspective in the early 1980s. Notable features include the juxtaposition of everyday objects with fine art pieces other artworks by Hockney collected and curated by Macdonald, creating a dialogue between the mundane and the artistic while breaking the fourth wall between artist and viewer. Hockney's approach to photography during this period marked a departure from traditional methods, challenging conventional notions of photographic representation.
