Fotocopiar fotocópias na fotocopiadora: apropriação e ressignificação de meios, materiais e processos

Abstract

As practices of material appropriation, signic reframing, and performative ressignification, electrography and copy art directly call into question the concepts of original and copy. The goal of this article is to outline how these copy-based artistic practices promote a dialogue with the 20th-century widely spread notion of collage, dealing as well with the concept of "détournement" as a way of describing the radical gesture of appropriation and ressignification present in several works produced by Portuguese artists
