In an era where crises fol­low one anoth­er and jus­ti­fy a state of per­ma­nent excep­tion, Sub­lime Democ­ra­cy is a crit­i­cal mul­ti­me­dia cam­paign por­tray­ing democ­ra­cies stripped of their foun­da­tions, yet upheld by per­sis­tent sym­bols sus­tain­ing the illu­sion. Designed as a con­tem­po­rary fable, the work draws on pre­cise pres­i­den­tial speech­es and pol­ished visu­als, inte­grat­ing AI as the engine of a crit­i­cal process where false­hood becomes lan­guage. By play­ing with the codes of pow­er, it ques­tions our habit­u­a­tion to fear, author­i­ty, and dom­i­nant narratives.
