Principia Discordia is a limited series of 100 collages by Paul Watson. Each hand-numbered collage is on 9 by 12 inches (229 x 305 mm) Bockingford Board, and comes with a letter guaranteeing authenticity.
The collage series is named after the sacred/comedic book "The Principia Discordia" because it shares a number of characteristics with it: a collage of appropriated materials, obvious self-contradictions and unusual humour, an exaggerated, often parodying and nonsensical technique, and oblique suggestions that there is serious intent behind the work.
Progress on this series, along with documentation and discussion, can be found on this thread of the Lazarus Corporation discussion forum.
