With a compass saw Superflex has cut the shape so that it appears identical with the original. By doing that Superflex transforms the 'look a like' copy into a 'right' copy, and by that questioning the problems concerning copyrights. The chair is placed on a wooden platform. Sawdust and wood cutouts are lying beneath the chairs, which indicate the process of cutting. Copy Right challenges the notion of the 'original work'. In an era when the debate of intellectual property and counterfeit objects intensifies, Superflex exerts a forceful artistic effect in “supercopying” and in creating “new originals”.Exhibitions
