After Fame

Welcome to After Fame - an ambitious and resonant engagement with the epigrams of the Roman poet Martial, which completes the loose trilogy of Sam Riviere's process-derived works. It was Martial who first used the term 'plagiarism' in its modern sense as a kind of literary theft.

Cele 118 poezii ale sale, pe teme precum munca, prietenia si viata publica, sunt modelate dupa materialul sursa printr-o varietate de „tratamente” - in special traducerea automata (pentru care latina prezinta inca dificultati aproape insurmontabile), folosind rezultatele ca schele pentru poezii care isi improvizeaza rapid drumul departe de originalele lor.
