Tomorrow is Cancelled
View works

Krinzinger Projekte, Vienna.
The global rise of right-wing populism tactically incorporates tropes of mystification generated through post-truth prevalent in fake news, propaganda and corruption. Such a precarious masking of the real, which has made a substantial return in politics and elsewhere, can be understood as the spectacle seen through Guy Debord’s 1967 ‘Society of the Spectacle’. Not being a “collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images,
” the spectacle slithers into every crevice of life by commodifying it, creating collective alienation.

 

The works presented in the exhibition Tomorrow is Cancelled, take into account collective complacence in a world where the degradation of knowledge bleeds into a blindness towards critical thought where everything turns into homogeneous robotic feelings of unconsciousness and political ambivalence.
