How to define a piece of work of art?
The boundary between art and life becomes vague. Last weekend, saw a piece of art work which is mirror presenting on the wall as other normal paintings in an exhibition room. I stood in front of this piece watching another me on an opposite world. Yes, the mirror in this exhibition defiantly is a piece of art work, however, if it was presenting in my bedroom, it would be a normal mirror only. Therefore, a question that how to define a object as an piece of art work make me thinking. According to the theme Mimisis which basic define art as a reflection of life. However , performance is not a reflection of life and not express a pre-existing identity, but embody certain social and historical possibilities and engender identity through these acts. How to define all these concept? Performance which is not a reflection of life also belongs to art ( according to the theme Mimisis) which is reflecting life. So, I am confuse.
When it comes to my personal research, I am trying to film a few minutes's video which is basic of daily stuff to raise a concept about a relationship between human being and society, and I don not have any professional filming skill, Thus, will my practical video looks like a normal one only filming for fun? How to make it close to art? Concept first or must basic on skill or must both?
