Simulacrum
Simulacrum ( plural : simulacra ), from Latin : simulacrum which means "likeness, similarity", [ 1 ] was first recorded in the English language in the late 16th century, used to describe a representation, such as a statue or a painting, especially of a god. By the late 19th century, it had gathered a secondary association of inferiority: an image without the substance or qualities of the original. [ 2 ] Philosopher Fredric Jameson offers photorealism as an example of artistic simulacrum, where a painting is sometimes created by copying a photograph that is itself a copy of the real. [ 3 ] Other art forms that play with simulacra include Trompe l'oeil , [ 4 ] Pop Art , Italian neorealism and the French New Wave . [ 3 ]Synecdoche, New York is a 2008 American postmodern [ 3 ] drama film written and directed by Charlie Kaufman , and starring Philip Seymour Hoffman .
