Abstract

Are the works of Marchel Duchamp, who is at the peak of art history with his creations and who has made a wrecking impact on minds with the "conceptual art" idea, just a resistance carried out with ready-made objects, to the bourgeois understanding of art or are they ironic / parodic approaches to the cities' arrangements by means of topography and power? This article looks into how the latter takes place in the works of Duchamp and reviews and discusses the ready-made works of Duchamp with an anti-topographical view.
