In this work, Wilfredo Prieto actualises Guy Debord's foreseeing of ''La societé du spectacle'', pointing to the notion that society is increasingly absorbed in virtual and social media realities. As in a theatre, the contradictions of our contemporary times are staged. Common objects that belong to the everyday reality are emphasised in order to create moments of awareness, in pursuit of micro-truths.
