Wok The Rock (Indonesia) – How Low Can You Go, Lisa / 05:05 / 2004
The image on this video is a painting by Japanese artist Yasumasa Morimura in which he parodes Da Vinci´s masterpiece. Using the same idea of re-appropriation, Wok The Rock puts Morimura´s work in a new context by printing the image with a low quality and old printer. Additionally, the video was shot with a compact digital camera. The infinite options of copy that technology offers contrasts with the unique and original artwork of the masterpiece parodied.
