Bijl’s Compositions Trouvées are carefully composed montages of found objects. They are little pieces of reality, which are usually displayed in a museum context. As the artist has removed these objects from their usual settings, the overall impression created is rather odd and the man-made, fantastic character of the work is accentuated. Reality appears as something unreal or artificial.
