I remember having read with the magazine that David Bowie said, "All works are only the medleys of some copies.

" On the other hand, the idea [ I / recent ] of "receiving a baton from the former generation like the runner of a relay,

and passing the next generation throughout life [ of people ]" is strong.

These two opinions may be having said about the same thing.

　

Probably it is about ten percent that the man's originality serves as the fountainhead and produces a work among the things "creation",

although the remaining portion of 90 percent suited before it,

it is technical succession in an idea, and I think that the work is constituted by me.

　

When this theme discusses these days, let the point of original or a copy in a work be a problem.

To be sure, the difference between zero or 1 is the most important.

However,　it says [ whether "1" 1 / not only / zero or / not only / is important in order that the important

however remaining "9= succession" may employ "1= individuality" efficiently ],

"worth of originality" is not the problem of "quantity" -- it is not -- the two things "are caught in me at the heart.

　

I was [ be / it ] the time when <<originality =1>> which made the background "establishment of respect of individuality"

and "the worth of newness in industrial production nature" the second half of the 20th century was emphasized by thinking.

on the contrary -- if it says and the "quantity" "1" must be expanded to "4" and "7",

since the standard was put on <<originality>> too much -- just -- being alike -- I am moved by the wind whether it is the time

when the originality supreme principle of being an art spread if it is original and does not bury "it is =10 altogether."

　

Therefore, he likes David Bowie as "being only a copy after all" etc.,

and I consider that that he should be given had to assume a challenging attitude and show.
