I didn't follow through with the full idea on this one. I had wanted to have real pizza next to it on the sidewalk. The idea being to challenge Plato. Plato summed up his views on the visual arts in an analogy about a bed. The best bed is G-d's bed, the second best bed is the bed the wood worker makes, and the worst bed is the bed the artist draws because you can't sleep in that bed. Well in my mind this is a little lacking because I can think of instances where the drawing is superior to the real. My idea here is that you would not eat a real pizza on the sidewalk either, so that advantage is lost, and the real pizza is only going to get moldy and nasty and full of ants.
