Simulacra
A simulacrum (plural: simulacra or simulacrums, from Latin ''simulacrum'', which means "likeness, semblance") is a representation or imitation of a person or thing. The word was first recorded in the English language in the late 16th century, used to describe a representation, such as a statue or a painting, especially of a god. By the late 19th century, it had gathered a secondary association of inferiority: an image without the substance or qualities of the original. Literary critic Fredric Jameson offers photorealism as an example of artistic simulacrum, in which a painting is created by copying a photograph that is itself a copy of the real thing.Massumi, Brian"Realer than Real: The Simulacrum According to Deleuze and Guattari." retrieved 2 May 2007 Other art forms that play with simulacra include trompe-l'œil, pop art, Italian neorealism, and French New Wave.
