Appropriation is an art movement born in the United States in the late 1970s. By taking possession of pre-existing images, forms, advertisements, or works of art, appropriation artists raise questions about authorship, originality, and authenticity. The movement encourages viewers to reconsider what a work of art is ontologically, and urges them to reexamine the systems of values and validations. Using cinema as a medium for questioning the idea of a work that is not a copy but a mere autonomous original piece, the text points out the transgressive dimension of appropriation: by criticizing the sacred aura of art, by acting like a vampire, it subverts the established order—although paradoxically celebrated by the art market it seeks to undermine. Going beyond appearances, appropriation art requests not to simply see again, but to review.
