Copies of Nothing [1982-1986]
“COPIES OF NOTHING”
Georg Mühleck's “Copies of Nothing” originate from a Xerox 6500 Color photocopier. An ironic denunciation of the reproduction habit; a departure from the normal use as the photocopier is meant to copy something - the original; an ontological turning-back because if it has been known since Chang Shih that “the Void is not nothingness. The Void is picture”, it was not known that Nothingness is not nothing: Nothingness is the work of art. (by Monique Brunet-Weinmann, see PDF “The Zerox degree of painting”)
