He is deconstructing the the idea of the value and the weight of the word tilted author how and should that person have such a title ? While thinking about this another thought comes to mind that there are many stories or pieces of art work that we all know so well and how its weaved into our lives and no many may not bother to question the authorship that also makes me think how sometimes although the text or song can out weighs the author.
As in like story or a song that travels many miles yet nobody knows who wrote it and some may never question . I will focus on the what is an author .
When I think of an author I think of the writer the person that delivered the work the painter the same and this makes you put a name or face an Identity It never occurred to me to separate the writer from the author the style of work that is presented in front of you . Why would I think otherwise or am I simple ignorant to knowledge of ownership .
If I dismantle that idea into where the inspiration and ideas come into play taken from other areas other than the current artist itself is anything truly original.
And if someone has written something in a present time with historical context and is for example influenced by Shakespeare does this take away from the writer before you. For me this is not, so but ones obsession for originality could doom the work as a failure.
Everyday we are consciously or subconsciously taken by influence to some extent but how do we determine that so much of the work is original so much is not . Is it about optimising opportunity and and seasing the opportunity to name and claim something in a capitalistic world to make profit
On surface pieces of work can look similar to another how ever there root to and journey towards the pieces deliver could be a very different influence and one could however influence and being impressionable can lead a to feeling inadequate or feeling grateful for path of influence laying before us. But in order to fly one must shake these shackles and to and stand bravely in there authorship
an ideas of the past he makes the point does this make them the author. As an individual author there is the want and need for your work being recognised signing the work even if it is not your proper name . It is as almost just writing a piece should be or maybe not enough and that we should humble and grateful just the allow your work to drift into the world with no ties but this is not how many think. Although there are something we properly wouldn't question like the invention of toilet.
So I am seeking an artist where I can say that original that there work authorship. Banksy is a modern artist who makes the whole experience of Banksy an art From us not knowing his name to element of surprise as to where he places his work on a street to the value we place on his work and it being shredded in a photo frame . Banksy apppear to understand modern times hype popularity element of surprise with street art mix that with elite art world the something of an original act all though . My knowledge of street artist has always secret hush hush.
