Michael Lazic / Hans Op De Beeck: “Staging Reality”, trailer
“In our modern, technology-driven environment, it is no longer obvious what is hard fact and what is fiction, what is real and what is a performance. Phenomena such as 'Second Life' on the Internet or the biased and manipulated news coverage in many media make the line between real and virtual, between truth and lie a vague one. We humans are addicted to stories and illusions that may help us to deal with our own insignificance and mortality. Plastic surgery disguises the real age of a body and virtual existence even disguises the entire physical individual. The Western world slowly seems to be landing more credence to staged reality than to life itself. But then what exactly is that reality?”
