I wold not be in a folis paradyce

– The phrase 'fool's paradise' refers to a situation where someone is happy or content based on false beliefs or unrealistic expectations.
In essence, the phrase serves to illustrate the notion that a lack of knowledge can result in a misplaced sense of security or contentment. –

As the title suggests, this is an age-old story.

Some manipulate others for their own benefit. Even indirectly, they may do so as part of a system or structure. Others may believe in this manipulation and see it as a reflection of their inner life, often presented as entertainment that provides a general sense of satisfaction or fulfilment. These roles often overlap, with individuals playing both at different levels.

The question arises whether we should uncritically accept the information presented to us.

From my perspective, true reality lies beyond the immediate context.
It is not on stage, but behind the scenes. Not in the photograph, but in the studio.

I am not interested in the magic trick, but in the search for the hidden compartment. The false bottom. The untapped space of information.

The practice of seduction is ultimately devoid of content, while the search for knowledge is imbued in wonder.

Note on the Title:

Origine: "I wold not be in a folis paradyce"
An early phrase, first recorded in the Paston Letters, 1462
Shakespeare later used it in Romeo and Juliet.
