West's "Visual Analyzes" were initially created as a reaction to works by Friedl Bondy, a photo artist who was one of his closest friends at that time. These pieces attempt to capture moods or psychological states using visual means. ...
Continuing this theme, he created collages on corrugated board in 1974 under the title "Visual Analyzes". They depict photos of representatives of the Austrian cultural scene of the period, juxtaposed with the visual products of mass culture: amateur photos, excerpts from illustrated magazines or changing pictures of erotic subjects. Here, the visual analysis of cultural figures (in this context) is intertwined with the reference to the actual aesthetic standards of the vast majority of the population. Inevitably, this begs the question as to the social role of culturally active individuals and their status as "stars" or "outsiders" in society.
