Chris Gaither

The Rise of the Real Isn’t a True Story but Is Real Nonetheless

Where once the Imaginary, the Symbolic, and the Real
formed three sides of the same coin
now there is but one side to every story
as the Imaginary is displaced by the literalism of (Virtual) Real(ity)
the Symbolic is scrambled in servitude to the (Un)Real
and the Real itself has replaced the truth
