Description

In Plato, the "eikôn" designates an image or representation that is an imperfect copy of reality. This is an idea that is taken up by Baudrillard in his theory of simulacra, where he describes simulacra as copies without an original, representations that do not refer to anything real. In the case of the digital animation in superimposed layers on "La Bergère" by Fragonard, we can see an illustration of this idea. The original image by Fragonard is already a representation, an interpretation of reality. The digital animation that is superimposed on this image is a new layer of representation, which modifies and transforms the original. However, this animation is not a simple copy of the original, but rather a new creation that exists as such. It is also not a faithful representation of reality, but rather a subjective interpretation of the original image. Thus, we can see in this animation an illustration of Baudrillard's theory of simulacra, where representations stack on top of each other, creating an endless mirror effect. Furthermore, the use of digital animation to modify the original image raises questions about the notion of authenticity and reality. Is Fragonard's original image still authentic when modified by digital animation? Or does digital animation create a new reality, a new authenticity? Finally, it is interesting to note that the use of digital animation to modify the original image can be seen as a form of "simulacrum" in Baudrillard's sense. Digital animation creates an illusion of movement and life, but it is in reality a mere representation, a copy without an original. This raises questions about the nature of reality and representation, and how we perceive and interpret images. 2950 x 2154 px / 4k mp4 / 1 min / 76,8 Mo / 6 frames 1/1 collection 24/50 #simulacra a subrealist reread based on the masterpiece by : The Shepherdess - Jean-Honoré Fragonard - 1750/52 Original works On view at : Milwaukee Art Museum, États-Unis
