Spanish term

montage

Spanish to English Art/Literary Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts)
The term montage in photography is a collage of photographic images (think Man Ray). This is NOT that. It is the decorations or sets for a photo shoot:
El montaje de Chela monumentaliza a la vedette, que parece recorrer la ciudad como una godzilla glamorosa, llevándose por delante a la avenida Corrientes y comiéndose todo que se cruce en su camino.
OR
Si bien es en su trabajo con bandas tropicales donde las hermanas despliegan mayores recursos de montaje, haciendo que músicxs e instrumentos vuelen sobre montañas, atraviesen partituras o posen junto a palmeras caribeñas, sus montajes para el teatro de revista juegan a trasladar algo de la magia del movimiento de las obras a la imagen estática en el papel.

Again, montage means something entirely different
Thanks!

Domini Lucas Oct 3, 2021:
@Asker - backdrop? I'm not versed in photography, but it seems to me from a superficial reading that you might need more than one term? Am saying that because from theatrical experience my immediate reaction is backdrops for montajes para el teatro de revista. On googling backdrop does seem to come up for photography too, but being out of context of your full text, and commenting in passing, I haven't thought through how you might use it with e.g. El montaje de Chela. But throwing it into the mix to start the ball rolling. In any case, presumably set is a generic option that could work, though I do prefer backdrops here. More specific. At first reading, at least. Set (in theatre at least) could include some props as part of the whole set, rather than just the painted (or otherwise) backdrop.

Spanish term (edited): montaje

montage

The Spanish term is 'montaje'.

I don't agree that 'montage' necessarily means simply a collage of images. I haven't been able to find this artist or any examples of their work, but it sounds like a juxtaposition of disparate themes and ideas.

a montage of emotions
a montage of sounds

Another possibility is 'assemblages'.
