(...) The city is a huge Chroma Key. It is possible to impregnate the narrative or the emotion of which one does not want to him.
In 1990 W.G. Sebald wrote Vertigo. Master in the production of verisimilitude. His chroma was not green or blue, but white. But what happened happened. The city is vertigo. It is based on verisimilitude: a man travels three hours back and three hours back to work; Take care of a terrace with synthetic grass. The sun on the forehead for eight hours.
Images produce vertigo. Everything seems to be captured and it no longer matters that it is true or false. Everything is plausible, even a winged unicorn that someone posted on Facebook. Because the unicorn exists and is ready.
Do you want a minimal story for our society? Component or disarm pantones as if they were the still life of the 21st century?
What is the point of view of what you may be feeling? And your pantone? *
