Simulacra (Movie)

Dir. Theo Tagholm
Today abstraction is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror, or the concept. Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being, or a substance. Simulacra explores the hyperreal.

The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth—it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true.

R.I.P. to a fellow Baudrillard enjoyer.

Hope you’ve transcended the hyperreal.
