The power of images. Fake or reality? In split seconds, the human brain decides which images it “believes in”, which images are aesthetically “beautiful”, appealing, and which area such as “news”, “dance” or “art”, they are assigned to. The starting point of this production is a reflection on incalculable socio-political situations, the crisis of worldviews and the impossibility of distinguishing fact from fiction.
