I invite you to take this tour through a roofless theatre called media, the stage representing the farce and media opportunism of the Brazilian president and far-right populist Jair Messias Bolsonaro\u2014The Myth.<br><br>In 2018, Bolsonaro was stabbed during a presidential rally campaign. Against a backdrop of polarization, micro-narratives, and misinformation, The Myth starred in an online political campaign where he had complete control over his narrative and self-presentation. This tour investigates how the ambiguity of the stabbing event exposes the network propaganda in the Brazilian political game. Through a speculative documentary photography practice, this piece overcomes the political illusions and dissemination of non-progressive values of digital populists. The fictionalization of the real is a form of resistance toward such ideological shams and manipulations. It devolves into a meta-play, a farce within a farce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2023 \u9999\u6e2f\u651d\u5f71\u66f8\u6a23\u672c\u66f8\u734e 2023 HK PHOTOBOOK DUMMY AWARD\uff5cTropical Trauma Misery Tour by Rafael Roncato\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4RDpGDGrD5w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tropical Trauma Misery Tour by Rafael RONCATO from Brazil About the Book Welcome to the TROPICAL TRAUMA MISERY TOUR.
