Narrated through the voice of Thys\u0026rsquo;s father, the artists tell us the parallel world disguises itself as the real world \u0026ndash; \u0026ldquo;There are different theories. One of them states that the parallel world is a mirror of the real world and every attack from the parallel world would therefore be a form of self-destruction.\u0026rdquo; The existence of the parallel world within the everyday is illustrated using clips from various sources inserted within the video. This work effectively describes a sort of existential crisis for humanity at the heart of what we understand as reality, and a desire for it to be replaced by an alternative.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eTaal: Nederlands Ondertiteling: Engels De Gruyter en Thys presenteren de video *About the Relationship Between the Real World and the Parallel World* af en toe in de vorm van een lezing.

Via een computerstem vertellen de Gruyter en Thys ons dat de parallelle wereld zich vermomt als de echte wereld. Het bestaan van de parallelle wereld in de alledaagse wereld wordt ge\u0026iuml;llustreerd met behulp van fragmenten uit verschillende films.
