Reality or Not - Film - 2023
presented as part of the exhibition Panorama 25
Film
Reality or Not is a film about the production of reality and what it takes to create new ones. Multiple storylines converge to explore the moveable values of agency, power, and authenticity as shaped by volatile structures ecological, technological, and ideological alike. Developed to be shown as both a single channel projection and an installation, *Reality or Not *asks: what shapes reality and who does it belong to?
