Pictures at an Exhibition (2008)

I’m unsure what Marker is trying to convey with this work. He embraced digital media long ago, but what he presents here is the kind of thing anyone with Photoshop could do, and while each picture has a deeper meaning, some obvious (Pagan Goddess trying to protect Christianity from itself) and some less so (Kong and Psyche), what I don’t understand is why?
Is it commentary on the loss of originality or a lazy montage? The clash of classicism with modernism; the homage to popular culture, children’s literature, cult sci-fi, renaissance sculpture, etc, leave me confused.
Why are we going round in circles?
I've been in this room but now it’s different.
The titles of the paintings suggest he is deconstructing and recreating, like history repeating. Who knows for sure, except Marker?
