About: The truth is out there (No, really...)
“This series, The Truth Is Out There (No, Really…) examines larger cultural questions about technology, individualism, and our purpose as a species in our post-Covid climate of Unexplained Aerial Phenomena and rapidly evolving forms of communication. How do we evaluate what our reality truly is in a world where truth is constantly reframed, and the nature of reality is unclear? This series sources imagery from old YouTube videos showing fake UFO sightings and examines how photography both frames our relationship with real life and fuels our desire to answer the unknowable and discover the unknown.”
