This describes precisely the principle of collage, the development of which the artist Max Ernst worked on intensely in collaboration with other Dada artists: everything was cut or torn apart and then analytically re-coordinated and reconfigured in totally new relationships so that existing things would be contemplated, observed and comprehended in a new dimension. However, Theodor W. Adorno brought forward the plausible objection that, although the tearing and cutting was clearly justified, the act of reassembling in a new frame would convey illusion and ideology.
