What does it mean when a digital image ignites a real-world situation?We live in a time when fact and fiction coexist often replacing one another, in the context of communal violence it leads toward radical polarization and violence in an everyday situation.

I am thinking about the ideas of real, virtual, truth and fiction and how the saturated images not only represent but actively construct new reality.

Fictions in the internet age are often circulated as digital myths, who sends it, who receives it, and where it goes remains anonymous only the violence of it becomes visible in the real world.
