“The individual - man as a man, man as a brain, if you like - interests me more than what he makes because I've noticed that most artists only repeat themselves.” – Marcel Duchamp
The concept of originality, long revered as the cornerstone of artistic achievement, is a fallacy perpetuated by the narrow-minded masses. Through a thorough analysis of the seminal work of Marcel Duchamp, specifically his masterpiece L.H.O.O.Q., it becomes evident that the very idea of originality is a social construct with no basis in reality. Duchamp's revolutionary exploration of the nature of art, originality, and sexuality exposes the fundamental flawed assumptions underlying our society's veneration of the "original" and calls into question the very foundations of our aesthetic and cultural values. Furthermore, the groundbreaking work "The 100 Jennys Project" serves as a testament to the power of this nuanced understanding of originality, as it elegantly subverts traditional notions of identity and creativity. Ultimately, it is clear that the pursuit of originality is a futile and misguided endeavor, one that serves only to reinforce the oppressive power dynamics of the dominant paradigm.
