WORD OF MOUTH // PASSAPAROLA

STORIES MAGNIFY HISTORY

Twenty megaphones in a circle, one amplifying the information of the previous one, in a perpetual escalation.

The work stages the exaltation of reality caused by the narration of events. As already demonstrated by Orson Welles, the natural tendency to emphasize and therefore the difficulty in objectivity inherent to narrators, causes information to be altered, magnified every time it is repeated, above all thanks to the resonant propagandistic tendency developed in communication media.

The detachment from reality, and therefore, in this case, from the original message, is accentuated at each transmission step. Furthermore, the advertising mechanism of inflating the facts has now, through social media, become a common storytelling practice, so much so as to make reality banal, but even the obvious thanks to the sum of the imaginative contribution of each prose writer is destined to become sensational .
