Double Vision: Originals, Copies, and the Mystery of Value
The provided text explores the complex relationship between originals and copies, using the example of two seemingly identical Vermeer paintings to illustrate deeper philosophical questions. It challenges conventional notions of value, suggesting that worth extends beyond signatures, scarcity, or initial perfection, and that even "copies" can hold profound truths. The author reflects on the nature of originality, proposing it lies in unique personal traces rather than complete invention. Furthermore, the piece considers the impact of time on authenticity, arguing that imperfections and signs of wear can add to an object's or person's story and value. Ultimately, the text posits that everyone possesses "signed" and "unsigned" versions of themselves, both equally real and contributing to their unique identity.
