THE PERFORMATIVE REAL

Re:art is a London-based interdisciplinary art and culture journal published by SPIRA9, dedicated to presenting critically engaged and sensorially driven contemporary practices.

ISSUE 4 | THE PERFORMATIVE REAL continues the curatorial trajectory of An Authentic Delirium, examining a reality that is increasingly staged, mediated, and performed. As power becomes image, persona becomes symbol, and technology simulates intimacy and life, the real no longer exists as a stable condition, but as an ongoing spectacle.

We invite artists, writers, performers, and researchers whose practices respond to performative reality, synthetic authority, mimetic life, algorithmic emotion, and contemporary spectacle.
