Description
The year 2019 marks Azerbaijan’s fourth participation in the Biennale, realised by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation. The Azerbaijan Pavilion is proud to present Virtual Reality, an exhibition that draws on the phenomenon of fake news as one of the greatest threats to democracy, free debate, and progress.
In Virtual Reality, Kanan & Ulviyya Aliyev, Zarnishan Yusifova, Zeigam Azizov, and Orkhan Mammadov present interactive multimedia projects, installations, and sculptures. Virtual Reality addresses an issue that is at the heart of today’s politics, and questions our everyday reality.
