Tailor's mannequin is not a real tailor's mannequin, but its form sculpted out of a noble material of marble. Thus, it is not ready-made that became an artwork through the artist's intervention (choice). It is his true product, also in the material sense. Work is what the artist proposes it to be, and not that which it promise during the preliminary inspection. Or, maybe, it is something that seems to be proposed by an artist. He continues to multiply questions that are not only about art but also about reality itself. Are works shown in the exhibition art objects, their equivalents or even fakes? And, even if they are "fakes" through their conception, are they not given the status of the work of art? Are they less artiful than Duchamp's urinal (after all, they are made not "ready") or 17th century trompe l'oeil (they reflect the world in a less precise way)? Or, maybe they are more artful? Equally vague is the situation arising by presenting objects in a gallery space, almost in a museum-like setting. Is it an art exhibition, or just its staging? If it's a staging, why it is so? Does it happen through the facts - works, or the artist's intentions?
