Vicarious

In a world that seems more and more plucked from the dystopian imagery of George Orwell's novel '1984', rebelling against the ordinary, to elevate one's individuality, is a necessary act. Modern society is increasing 'liquid', as the philosopher Zygmunt Bauman would say, individual experience and social relations are rapidly being decomposed and recomposed, in a shaky and uncertain, fluid and volatile manner. For our latest editorial, we imagined a post-apocalyptic scenario, like a war video game: 3D visors, tactical vests, balaclavas with google lenses, and remote-controlled drones. All tools feed the perspective of those who seek to isolate themselves from this sick world and live in peace, alone.
