// Nelson Leirner's Cada cosa en su sitio 3 (2013) is a limited edition mixed media print that blends historical imagery with playful, pop-cultural iconography. The artwork features a black-and-white vintage photograph of individuals gathered around an old automobile, capturing a moment of nostalgia. Over this, Leirner has superimposed black Mickey Mouse ears on the heads of each figure, with one character sporting a red star. This juxtaposition of historical and modern symbols creates a surreal, satirical effect, commenting on the pervasiveness of commercialized culture and its impact on memory and identity. The title, meaning Everything in its place, adds a layer of irony, suggesting a critique of societal norms and the boundaries between high art and popular culture.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
