The signature is already a forgery and instead of witnessing the truth it represents an act of misappropriation: when the artist signs his work to guarantee its authenticity, he is in fact “lying” since the work itself is already consigned to a fate of repetition, copying and dismemberment. In the signature, the subject wants to oppose the ineluctable fate of an image that lives in itself, which is a visual golem that can disregard man and will probably survive him. What should represent the figure of the subject becomes other than itself, in a process of general alienation that affects not only images
