Architecture people are also a visual crew, adopting, adapting, and commenting on the follies that scroll across our screens. We’ve long been using words, pictures, and the occasional GIF to communicate our collective enthusiasm for modernism, maximalist décor, parks in the air, in a moat, or in the river (anywhere but underground or in a shipping container).

There is a constant in the American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.

Umberto Eco, Travels in Hyperreality, c. 1986 (via hoekstra)

The twenty-first century is proud to be done with the ideal. And if there is one thing that you can say for Koons’s work it is that he deals in what is taken to be the real—even if the real is an act, a fake, a copy, an impersonation, what might be called the really unreally real. There is nothing on Planet Koons we haven’t seen before, admittedly generally in smaller, less costly, less shiny versions. His work is the apotheosis of Walmart.

When I say self-portrait, it's a very poetical approach, because in any case where I'm trying to copy or reproduce my face, it's more the concept in which we can dream about our perfect conditions; that means what could be our home, or our relationship with others, or what could protect me from society. In most of my work I'm trying to explore myself in those ideas and in some of them that is more evident.
