Type I_37 Photographs of Zhou Weiguo From 1932 to 1945 includes 37 photographs with corresponding information sheets and lab reports. Displaying in a tautological system, this type reveals that the concept of originality has already collapsed due to the infinite reproducibility and mutability of digital materials – there is no “original.”
《I类_1932至1945年间周卫国的37张照片》截取了周卫国一生中的37个画面并将它们制成照片,并将这37张照片的标准数字翻拍与信息表和实验室报告一一对应,构成同义反复的体系。在由影及物的过程中,数字媒介的复制性和嬗变性使传统意义的“原作”不复存在。
