The Great Farce

Most video artists depend on a lens-based process to film their work, but New York-based artist Solmi exploits the virtual architecture of video games to create a phantasmagoric world of whirling space, jerking movement and oscillating facades. Solmi’s art investigates the contradictions and inaccuracies of historical narratives that have led society into a chaotic era of misinformation. His nine-channel opus, The Great Farce, having its North American debut at UMKC, unmasks core hypocrisies in contemporary society, merging art with political and social commentary.
