Real Fiction repurposes footage from a Netflix narco-drama and news broadcasts to interrogate the "hyperreal," a concept defined by Jean Baudrillard as the inability of consciousness to distinguish reality from a simulation. By subjecting these simulations to aggressive montage and distortion, the work exposes the seductiveness of the cinematic lie while demonstrating a collapse of the information it carries. As representational imagery dissolves into abstracted color signals and a surreal soundscape, the piece highlights the postmodern tendency to find fulfillment in imitation, revealing how the blurring of news and spectacle effectively obscures the "real" reality of the human subject.
