Film stills are often used by Stezaker as material for his collages. In Scarecrow he assembles sections of many different photographs to create a scene incorporating numerous people - groups and individuals - apparently watching a performance in what seems to be the back of a derelict building. The centre of attention is a skipping man onto whom the head of an effigy (presumably a scarecrow) has been superimposed, as well as onto one of the dressmaker’s dummies on the right. This ambivalent scene evokes a wealth of possible associations and interpretations.
