“It’s not that I don’t think that the word originality means anything or has no meaning,
I just think it’s gotten a very narrow meaning lately. What I think about in terms of my work isbroadening the definitions of the word “original.” I think originality as a trope*. There is no such thing as an ahistorical activity (I mean history
in terms of one’s personal history, too).”

Sherrie Levine geïnterviewd door Jeanne Siegel, oorspronkelijk gepubliceerd in ARTS Magazine, Summer 1985

* A trope is a word used in a nonliteral sense to create an image. Trope refers to different types of figures of speech, such as puns,metaphors, and similes.
