The Big Plot.
2009. Mixed Media, dimensions variable.
This is a transmedia storytelling, a romantic-spy story rendered into the genre of Recombinant Fiction. Four characters told a story using dialogues shown on several social media channels. The cloned identity of a real spy was used to portray a story about political and sentimental weakness of our era characterised by a dysfunctional sociality being created by social media communications. Actions in public environments completed the set of stages upon which the story was acted and audiences had an active role in the story by unfolding and creating other pieces of fiction. The drama deconstructed language and symbolism of ideologies by remixing characters' lives and identities with real-world patterns.
