Postmodernism

I feel as if post-modernism is impossible to define because it is vague and has no definite boundaries. However, if I had to describe it in a sentence, I would say that it's a protest against typical artwork in that it ventures out to call upon and question traditional styles and notions. Further, postmodernism tends to remix art and combines elements that normally would not be displayed together. 

One thing that confused me was the idea of hyperreality and how postmodernism achieves something that is more real than reality. Although this makes me question hyperrealism and how it functions, it definitely interests me in that it creates a new perspective that is applied to artwork.
