Br\u00fcck stages the absurdity of our time. People celebrate with exaggerated joy, as if nothing were happening, while catastrophe unfolds around them: searing heat, wars without end, artificial intelligence overtaking the world. Nobody stops. The party carries on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work is funny at first glance and unsettling at the second. Its humour lives in the distance between the celebrating faces and the world they refuse to see, and in that distance the collection finds something recognisable about living today: denial practised in company, hysteria worn as happiness, a collective dissonance that lets collapse continue for as long as the music plays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAbsurd joy in a burning world \u2014 where laughter drowns out collapse, and denial becomes a collective dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Showcased at <a href=\"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/urban-heart-2025-festive-collapse\/\">Urban Vision \u00b7 maxi-LED programme<\/a>, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People celebrate with exaggerated joy while catastrophe unfolds around them: a video work on denial and collective dissonance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7182,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fsmb_year":"2025","fsmb_venue":"Urban Vision \u00b7 maxi-LED programme","fsmb_medium":"","fsmb_collection":"Festive Collapse","fsmb_exhibition":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7178"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7178\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7334,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7178\/revisions\/7334"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/florenciabruck.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
