What the artifice does is create an anxiety over our own place in the scheme of reality. Whether a placeholder, substitution, or perfect copy, a double is a replacement, with its own motives. Sarah Welch, Sarah Crowe, and Graham Austin explore contemporary forms of substitution in "AIN'T NOTHIN LIKE THE REAL THING", with a scoping range of media, focused upon questions of legitimacy and nostalgia that invariably arise when confronted with the doppelgangers wearing human, linguistic, or environmental form.
