Second version of the installation, build as part of the exhibition "Entropic Empire" in Museum der Moderne in Salzburg.  The first version was build in 2021 in Rotterdam. This version has been build in a more vertical direction and also a hiden workshop (Bastlerwerkstatt) is incorporated in the installation.

About the installation:

Voerman's installation examines both the increasing madness that can be observed on the internet around fake news and conspiracy theories, as well as the danger of undermining society and the democracy that has all this.

Voerman himself calls this installation a “psychotic building”; this because, in his view, the world of conspiracy theories is comparable to a psychosis.

The installation shows a spatial collage of images associated with all kinds of conspiracy theories and found on the fringes of the internet. At the base of this collage, a dystopian world of chaos and anarchy seems to have emerged, including a structure that resembles an explosion of glass and cardboard.

The title of the work is a reference to Plato's publication, which contains the allegory of the cave.

Over the last years, more and more people seem to claim their own truth based on a self-fabricated reality. 

So, in away, they claim to have found an exit from Plato's cave or claim to have found the final interpretation of the shadows projected on the walls of the cave..
