Description

'N0ne 0f Th!s !s Real' is a deeply introspective work, inspired by the artist's personal struggle with mental health and the reality distortions fuelled by paranoia. Drawing influence from Post Wook's latest cinematic vintage photo with a similar title, KunTa BLeU blends the nostalgic aesthetics of retro photography with glitch art to evoke an eerie sense of disconnection from reality. The piece captures a distorted Sudanese environment, where familiar elements—acacia trees, mud-brick homes, and market stalls—are disrupted by alien technology and UFOs hovering in the sky. These surreal elements serve as metaphors for the artist's mental state, where paranoia warps the perception of everyday life into something absurd and unsettling. The vivid glitch effects reflect this disorientation, turning natural landscapes into a fragmented illusion. Influenced by Post Wook’s use of cinematic, vintage tones, KunTa BLeU adopts a sepia-hued, textured aesthetic, complete with subtle film grain and light scratches, creating an old photograph effect that further deepens the feeling of surreal nostalgia. The phrase "none of this is real" encapsulates the essence of the work, symbolising the struggle between external reality and the internal fears that distort it. This artwork merges the artist's mental health journey with cinematic, post-apocalyptic Afro-futurist themes, using glitch art to explore the fragility of perception in a world where reality is constantly in flux. Influenced by Post Wook's cinematic retro style, the piece combines personal trauma with artistic innovation, reflecting a disjointed yet captivating vision of a world distorted by paranoia.
