“We are currently living in what some have labeled ‘post-modern’ times. Baudrillard (among others) argues that our age is characterized by the seduction of appearances. We want to be taken in by the play of shadows*, as we know all too well that reality is an ugly thing. In other words, illusion has become reality… We fascinate ourselves with images in order to avoid the terrible truth that reality has no foundation.”
