Kinga Su | Delirium Veritatis

Delirium Veritatis deals with current issues such as media literacy, the influence of technology on perception and the socio-political consequences of disinformation at a time when subjective realities dominate the discourse.

With an eclectic mix of collages, art books and an interactive game, Su questions our media consumption and the narratives that shape our view of the world. The artworks are a visual and interactive critique of how facts are simplified and thus manipulated and myths are constructed in our society.

Sus' collages are an impressive commentary on the fragility of truth. By juxtaposing different images and texts, she creates visually captivating works that reflect the confusing effects of media saturation and propaganda. These collages force the viewer to piece together their own understanding from the fragments, reflecting the challenge of recognizing reality in a post-truth world.

At the heart of Delirium Veritatis are art books that weave together a series of myths and challenging truths. These books serve as both guides and puzzles, exploring the creation and perpetuation of modern myths. They also examine the role of graphic design in communicating information, inviting readers to question the stories they accept as truths and recognize the power dynamics involved in their dissemination.

The exhibition includes an interactive game that immerses participants in the complexities of the post-truth, image-driven information landscape of our time. This game is not just for entertainment, but is an experiential learning tool that highlights the mechanisms of simplification of facts that lead to deception. Furthermore, it draws our attention to the fact that algorithms are designed to reinforce our political views rather than challenge them.

Kinga Su uses critical design as a method to stimulate thought and dialog. Her works are not just there to be admired; they are tools for critical engagement.

The exhibition serves as a call to vigilance, challenging us to question and critically engage with the world around us in order to find clarity amidst chaos and truth amidst delirium.
