Actually in our daily life we encounter many juxtaposition artwork or examples however we did not pay attention to it. Where? When? You'll get to know when you've finish reading my post. So what is juxtaposition? Juxtaposition It is defined as placing two variable on side by side and their contrast are shown through a comparison. Most of the creative comparison processes rely on juxtaposition by placing two objects or words next to each other, therefore human brain will automatically associate or transfer meaning and usually 'turning' something familiar to something that is less familiar or vice-versa. In short, it is about putting two things which are irrelevant to each other at the same place hence creating a connection or relation between the two of them, bringing out another meaning which can be embed inside our mind even more than just one of the things alone.
For example like the picture above, a health message and a restaurants advertisement are different categories hence shouldn't be put together. However, just like what you've seen, the impact on bringing out the childhood obesity message is further more input into our mind with the help of stereotypes. For example, if I were only to post that childhood obesity ads only, people wouldn't notice and the message would not have a great impact on them;however, after I put the fast food ads, people will know more than just "be aware to childhood obesity", they'll get the message of "fast food brings obesity", BOOM! A shot in the mind, deep and meaningful.
Another example is the picture above where the picture was taken in an angle as if the boy is poking the lion's butt. It is two things which are irrelevant to each other however placing them together brings out humor and hence creating another thing which is totally different from what the original meaning is.
This is yet another very interesting juxtaposition that I find entertaining. Remember when we were young and our mom often ask us to pee beside the bush when we can't hold the urine any longer and we often feel shy? Here is an image which ask you to JUST DO IT. Although it's only a picture of a boy peeing beside the wall, however, the Nike ad on the wall brings out another meaning when it is merge with the boy's picture. Juxtaposition is not about laughing at the worlds silly mistake but to bring out certain messages which arent able to bring out without these mistakes.
