Simulacrum

In this sense, “a copy is an image endowed with resemblance, the sirnulacrurn is an image without resemblance“

G. Deleuze

“Art does not imitate,“ Deleuze argues, “above all because it repeats; it repeats all the repetitions, by virtue of an inrernal power (an imitation is a copy, but art is simulation, it reverses capies into simulacra)“
