"Great artists copy, geniuses steal" Since the beginning of art, the processes of appropriation have always existed: in many cases as tributes, in others as plagiarism, in others as resignification works, and in the case of photography this is not the exception: many artists who do works Photographic works have been inspired by previous works, both from the history of photography itself, and from the world of painting, film or record posters, where even the artist's ethic is often called into question when an image is appropriate. Photographic plagiarisms are known in the world of visual culture when the image that is copied is not given credit, but also in the history of photography, artists like the Japanese Yasumasa Morimura have made appropriation the theme of their work, and where it is also important to point out the Catalan artist and theorist Joan Fontcuberta who has coined the term "adoption" of images, giving a poetic freedom (not always legal) to artists to borrow images in order to give them a new meaning to the unlimited flow of images in the new post-photographic digital culture. The works of this exhibition start from an exercise of reflection about the very meaning of the appropriation and resignification of previous works that come from different sources, times and places in order to create a new image where strength is not only in its aesthetics , but in the new content that it adopts.
