Lori-Ann Bellissimo

There is a play on words here as repetition is a basic element of art yet it is also a rhetorical device. “Repetition may very well be the key concept of the twentieth century -- although is certainly predates it. Don Quixote, for example, is an exercise in repetition: the same adventure over and over again, but somehow different each time. Indeed, difference is the key to repetition. After all, if there were no difference, every instance would remain the same thing, rather than be a reproduction of that thing. Repetition, then, is a concept of creativity, perhaps the concept of creativity: it is how the existing world is shaped into new worlds.” (from http://www.artandculture.com)
