- Documenta 11 extended beyond Documenta's traditional one-hundred-day format. It comprised five ‘platforms’ realised on four continents between March 2001 and September 2002. The first four were symposiums in Vienna and Berlin, New Delhi, St Lucia (West Indies), and Lagos that engaged distinct communities around themes conceived to probe the contemporary in art, politics, and society. They occurred before the final platform, the exhibition in Kassel. Thus, the discourse of Documenta 11 preceded the opening of the show.

Arguing that collage tends to appear in times of trauma and social change, the show proposed that artists are exploiting the power of found images to communicate an unease, displacement, and anger peculiar to our time.
