Untitled is a 2001 graphite by Marcel Odenbach, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a big sheet of paper covered in tiny cut-out faces, words, and patterns, all glued down in layers. Pencil lines weave through them like stitches. Odenbach took old book pages, magazines, and fabric swatches, then rearranged them into something new. The faces feel familiar but don’t quite match—like a crowd you’ve seen before but can’t place. To see how collage can feel like a puzzle, look up Marcel Odenbach.
