Our world is increasingly filled with imagery — from the internet, advertising, movies, social media, selfies, smartphone cameras, surveillance, propaganda, media, art, books, magazines, drones, Google Earth, Pinterest, and Twitpics of remote warfare, rebel uprisings, brunches with strangers. This non-stop flood of images (the Germans call it bilderflut) obviously has an impact on our own thoughts, memories, desires, dreams, sense of self, and recollection of history. It causes us to question our own sense of what is real, what is imagined, what is fiction, what is a lie. In short, this relentless layering of imagery in our consciousness and unconsciousness accumulates and overlaps and juxtaposes endless ideas to create complex, ever-evolving and mutating composites drawn from countless sources in space, time and temperament.
