Simulacrum

Jean Baudrillard Philosopher, Sociologist

"What I am, I don't know. I am the simulacrum of myself."

Jean Baudrillard Philosopher, Sociologist

"The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth--it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true."

Jean Baudrillard Philosopher, Sociologist

"But what if God himself can be simulated, that is to say can be reduced to signs that constitute faith? Then the whole system becomes weightless, it is no longer anything but a gigantic simulacrum - not unreal, but simulacrum, that is to say never exchanged for the real, but exchanged for itself, in an uninterrupted circuit without reference or circumference."
