Public Fiction is a concept from the field of arts and media studies that explores how representations of reality are created and disseminated. It operates on the premise that the widespread dissemination of these representations depends on the credibility they achieve with a given audience. In our projects, we trace and critically examine various mechanisms of reality construction.
The Public Fiction Network consists of writers, filmmakers, theorists and curators. We combine our backgrounds and practices to create our own public fictions based on different thematic foci. These constructions can be experienced in exhibitions, events or artistic work, and reveal new perspectives on the relationship between art, media and society. They question how realities are created, mediated and experienced in the social contexts in which they are embedded.
