Postmodernism can therefore be understood (more than other creative movements) as deliberate, intended, self-conscious play, signs about signs, notes to notes? Often, this may be frivolous, trite, casual, surface, throw-away. It may even be ironic, joking, or literally, ‘just playing’. However, it is always a deliberate copy of older art/things. Therefore, the old has been re-worked into something new, which clearly entails a recognition to what it was and where it came from.

If we agree that The Love Box in your Living Room it is a REITERATION of the documentary work by Adam Curtis then it works as both a parody and a pastiche. In this sense, postmodernism works in terms of gestures, signs, re-imagining of work that is already recognised. However, the key question is whether this is just play? Or whether it is indicative of something else? Some more seismic and significant shifts in society?

theorists this could link to: David gauntlet

theory of identity
