doppelgänger in the open: a Canal Street case study
A successful object, in the sense that it exists outside its own reality, is an object that creates a dualistic relation, a relation that can emerge through diversion, contradiction, destabilisation, but which effectively brings the so-called reality of a world and its radical illusion face-to-face. — Jean Baudrillard to Jean Nouvel. 1 ...one can easily see in an object at once a perfection and an absence of origin, a closure and a brilliance, a transformation of life into matter, and in a word a silence which belongs to the realm of fairy-tales. — Roland Barthes 2
