This is the exhibition outcome for my Doctorate of Philosophy, titled; The copy as a paradox of change, copying and mimicry in social interaction.
My research explored the role of copying as an agent for change. I studied creative and social examples in which the act of copying was a revolutionary act that created change. I found this to be a paradox that undermined concepts of singular originality.
And here is my thesis - The copy as a paradox of change: copying and mimicry in social interaction.
