“PLAYBLACK” explores the ambivalent potential of the copy ­– as a tender gesture of homage, as an expression of solidarity and as a provocative strategy of caricature. We love Jacko. We become Jacko. We surrender to the ambivalent possibility of temporarily becoming someone else. We go to the limits of the identities attributed to us and probe the weak points in the logic of representation. It’s showtime, baby. Off into the magic sphere.
