About the exhibition
This first European solo exhibition by the New York based duo Andrea Orejarena (*1994, Colombia) and Caleb Stein (*1994, United Kingdom) presents photographs and films that deal with practices of simulation and narratives of disinformation. As an artist duo, Orejarena, a cognitive scientist and photographer, and Stein, a documentary photographer, are known for their conceptually documentary projects on individual perception and the collective construction of reality.
“Our process was like a deep dive into a labyrinth of imaginative, poetic fragments shared by anonymous people from around the world.”

Booklet
A free booklet is being published to accompany the “Viral Hallucinations” exhibition series. It defines 50 key terms from the dynamic field between conspiracy theories and digital image cultures. In five contributions, experts analyze and reflect on current visual forms of conspiracy theory content. A directory also provides an insight into selected art and photography projects that invite readers to take a deep dive into this exciting and complex field.
