parasitenart
Parasitenart, also known as parasite art, is a form of art that involves the creation of artwork on or within another piece of art. This can include painting on top of existing paintings, carving into sculptures, or even embedding objects within other artworks. The practice of parasitenart can be traced back to ancient times, with examples found in various cultures around the world. In contemporary art, parasitenart often challenges the traditional notions of authorship and ownership, as the original artist's work is altered or incorporated into a new piece. This form of art can also be seen as a commentary on the nature of art itself, questioning the value and meaning of originality and authenticity. Parasitenart can take many forms, from subtle modifications to complete transformations of the original work. It can be a collaborative process, involving both the original artist and the parasitenartist, or it can be a more confrontational act, where the parasitenartist deliberately disrupts or subverts the original work. Despite its controversial nature, parasitenart continues to be a significant and influential practice in the contemporary art world.
