See, it's not about races / Just places / Faces / Where your blood comes from / Is where your space is / I've seen the bright get duller / I'm not gonna spend my life being a color (Michael Jackson "Black or White) "PLAYBLACK" negotiates the ambivalent potential of the copy - as a tender gesture of homage, as a statement 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 sound out the breaking points of the logic of representation. It's showtime, baby. Off to the magic ball.
