Vik Muniz on Creating a Rebus

Marcel Duchamp, “In Advance of a Broken Arm” (August 1964; fourth version, after lost original of November 1915)


“What I try to do in my art is create an image that reanimates or updates the perceived experience of the original. So a person can look at something with a certain familiarity, and then have that familiarity betray them. From there you realize that it’s not what you thought it was, and you ask questions.”
