The world is already becoming other to itself, unmasking and unmaking itself at accelerating speed. What does this reveal about fiction’s power to set realities in motion? What possibilities does it offer for experimenting with the un/making of reality—and how is belief (in reality and/as fiction) formed, managed, generated, and suspended in this context? With two volumes of 𝐔𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞 edited by Tjaša Pogačar and Maks Valenčič, Šum journal explores the effects and affordances unfolding between psychotic disbelief in reality on the one end and the suspension of disbelief in fiction on the other. The first volume of this double issue traced this between-zone. The second volume explores how contemporary art takes up this challenge.
