" Can it be called an original? I change her hair. Now? What if I change the background and clothes too? Now can I call it mine? How much do I have to change in an image to call it an ‘original’? If my starting point was the Mona Lisa, can the resulting artwork ever be an original? When everything is changed, what connects it to the Mona Lisa? If changing everything still means I cannot claim it, then on what basis is it not original? Is it the iconic pose? Can I claim copyright based on a pose, is it even possible to claim a pose?"
These are the kinds of questions this participatory artwork hopes to give birth to. Especially in the age where the material is so easily found and copy-pasted from the internet, concepts such as copyright and ownership become difficult to understand.
This project is an attempt to shed light on the intricacies of these concepts albeit, with some humour and excitement.
