BF: So Roy, Wipeout?
RL: Prodigy rocks, I am a twisted firestarter.
BF: You have been accused of merely copying other peoples work, how would you reply to that?
RL: I don't just copy work. I change it.
BF: So you recontextualise it?
RL: Err, yes.
BF: So you're saying that by extracting these images and placing them in a fine art context you force
people to re-evaluate them both graphically and as narrative fragments, which simply because of
their fragmentary nature stimulates the viewer to recontextualise them with their own internal
cohesive narratives.
RL: I make them bigger.
BF: So in that act you rescale the scope of the observer and apply an industrial sensibility
which is itself a critique of the age of post-modern mass production?
RL: A lot bigger.
BF: Err, Thank you Roy Lichtenstien
RL: Absolutely huge |
