Nighttime. A plate is rotating around its own axis ­without tipping over. ­Several people around the world dis­cover the ­mysterious incident during the night. They film it with their mobile ­devices and comment on it in their respective ­languages. The work deals with the increasingly disappearing line ­between fact and fiction and the disputed notion of the ­photograph as being evidential as all ­scenes were ­built, ­textured and rendered with 3D Software, although appearing realistic. ­Silent Revolution plays with these circumstances and explores its spec­ulative ­potential. It ­creates an altered string of reality—evidential ­material for a ­fictitious event.
