The document describes an artwork called "Starry Night" that was appropriated by changing the mountaintop to the "Eye of Mordor" from Lord of the Rings, altering the meaning from Van Gogh's painting to represent the region of Mordor. This is an example of "textual poaching" where elements from one text are applied to something they were not originally intended for.

Artist: J.
Hordiny Artwork: Starry Night
Description: The new meaning created by appropriation is representing the region of Mordor, instead of the Dutch town Vincent van Gogh once lived in. Adding the Eye of Mordor to the mountaintop changes the way the image is interpreted. For those who are familiar with Lord of the Rings Mordor is a region from Middle Earth that is overrun by Orcs and Giants. The artist incorporated pieces from the Lord of the Rings and therefore changed the whole intended meaning of the original image. The appropriated image used the concept of textual poaching to create new image. Textual poaching is taking parts from another text (Lord of the Rings) and applying it to something that it was not necessarily intended for (van Gogh’s Starry Night). This alters the way the image is received and sends out a new meaning that is different from the original intended meaning.

Description: The XXL programme questions the notion of monumentality through an open dialogue between several artists from the artistic residency Jardin Rouge. This problematic finds for each of the artists different plastic and graphic answers in a sort of archeology of the future that offers to their art the freedom to exist in all its expansive potentiality. In the excessiveness, they explore the articulations, the points of passage and of tension of their artistic approaches, in order to offer the spectator an immersive experience.
