“AUTOPSY” (2026) explores how beliefs, evidence and reality are constructed in the digital age through the lens of UFOs and anomalous phenomena.
The exhibition emerges at a moment when the relationship between evidence and belief has fundamentally collapsed. We live in a world where verifiable facts no longer determine what people accept as true, where competing realities circulate with equal authority, and where the mechanisms that once separated truth from fiction have dissolved into contested narratives. Conspiracy theories operate with the same epistemological weight as scientific consensus. Documentation proves everything and nothing simultaneously. Our collective stories have fragmented into incompatible narratives that cannot be reconciled; they only multiply endlessly.
AUTOPSY directly examines this moment by bringing together artists to consider not only the content of contemporary anomaly discourse, but also the mechanisms by which beliefs are constructed. Rather than attempting to verify or debunk specific claims, the exhibition presents the state of narrative chaos itself, creating a space where documentation, classification and dissemination are visible as belief-generating mechanisms.
Through multimedia artworks that reflect, expand and question the methodologies of anomaly research, AUTOPSY demonstrates that investigations no longer reveal truth but produce competing realities; that evidence accumulates without resolution; and that attempts to classify phenomena generate new unclassifiable categories.
