Detournement is taking something old and making something contemporary. An old and traditional piece of artwork is transformed to something that doesn't represent the original object. The goal of the transformation is to make new expressions through art. The traditional art styles of expression is meaningless and forgotten. The detournement movement is not really dealing with reality. It is about propaganda and editing the tradition of art to portray a message to culture. I feel like detournement is devaluing the original piece to make a statement about the artwork.
