juxtaPOSITION.......

Juxtaposition means placing things side-by-side. In art this usually is done with the intention of bringing out a specific quality or creating an effect, particularly when two contrasting or opposing elements are used. The viewer's attention is drawn to the similarities or differences between the elements. By juxtaposing two objects or words next to each other, human brain will automatically associate or transfer meaning. Usually 'turning' something familiar to something less familar or vice-versa."


There are two types of juxtaposition, literary and random juxtaposition.

In literature and film, juxtaposition is the arrangement of two opposing ideas, characters, objects, etc. side-by-side or in similar narratives for effect.

Random juxtaposition refers to the stimulation of creativity in design or other creative pursuits by arranging objects with the purpose to compare or contrast.
