Spanish term
multiplicación coyuntural
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts)
Visual Storytelling
The term appears in the following paragraph:
"Si las posibilidades son absolutas la multiplicación coyuntural puede hacer que el ilustrador se pierda en un pastiche que no consiga comunicar con el espectador. "
The text is a review of a book about visual storytelling. The paragraph in question refers to the many options now available to illustrators, particularly in terms of multimedia.
I understand the gist of the paragraph, but am at a loss when it comes to this specific term. Any help is greatly appreciated!

proliferation of situations
The Spanish word "coyuntura" is a rather general word which can mean "moment" or "situation".
I think the phrase "proliferation of situations" is good at conveying the idea of an overloaded hodgepodge here.

Hmm... in this context about visual storytelling and illustration, I think there might be a better wording:
"proliferation of images (available)"
