Description

Why should there not be a parody of sociability, eroticism, and drugs,
or even indeed a parody of the (too blue!) sea and the (too bright!) sun.
Not to mention museums and culture. Of course all this is parody!
If none of these values can bear to be parodied, it must mean
they no longer have any importance. (...) it is the mirror
of our decadence, but it is not decadent at all. It is hyperreal in its vitality,
it has all the energy of the simulacrum. ‘It is the world centre of the inauthentic.’
Certainly it is: that is what gives it its originality and power.
