ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I've used a famous painting by Vermeer as the backdrop, being a recognizable commonplace within culture. At the same time, it was not my goal to refer to the painting nor its author, but rather to point out the status of the painting as a marketing product, a spectacle reduced to a recognizable poster. And it is the main task of a spectacle to present to us, using various forms of mediation, the world we are no longer able to experience directly. On the other hand, I appropriated the photo of a man masked as stormtrooper somewhere in the vastness of the Internet. Such a combined scene, surreal in a way, shows us how life has put an end to art, by becoming itself artificial, technologically reproductive, replaceable.
