Charles Ray " re-enchanting the world"

Why is Ray replecating these people and objects? What is the relationship between fake and real? Why a toy firetruck?
What total mindf--ker!! I love this gut, very playful approach and does nottake himself too seriously at all. He appears to be about perception of surfaces like some mutable reality dough that manipulates. He says something about "minimizing stimulation " for his audience. he wants people to be present and question and not blindly accept what is "served " to them as reality and art. Ray challenges the idea of the proper place for art with the truck and the male maniquin. Saying also to me that art can come from anywhere. the clock man is brilliant and evokes similar ideas to a series of drawings i did called clockheads.Glad to seethat others don't just swallow the constrivting version of reality that too many people seem to.
