While Cezanne’s or Van Doesburg’s ”Card Players” continue stuck in their moment of uncertainty, on the walls of a spatially determined gallery, far away, a new game is starting. This game is completely separated not only from the fiction of art, but also from the fiction of time itself, becoming nothing more than the reflection of a personal magic of living, in its own freedom of interpretation.
The idea behind creating two completely identical artworks is not to postulate one as the original and the other as a ”forgery”; nor are we favoring an already established system of value, i.e., the dilemma of how to value two identical, autonomous pieces?
However, we do not dispute the fact that literal elaboration of the theme brings out a certain, attractive, humor within the problem itself, in this case, cloned art.
On the other hand, this conceptual duplication requires interpretation in a common context.
In creating these conceptually twinned works, we are stressing acceptance of the unchanging, but synthetic phenomenon of ”a meeting of identical thoughts”, giving them complete autonomy of existence, without defining who is the first or better creator of thoughts.
By creating a clear between-space and a mystical interaction between the two identical artworks, we are entering into the analysis of autonomous similarity, taking a step back into the nature of being.
But, what happens when similarity is the artificial creation of consciousness?
