The idea of censorship accomplishing the opposite of what it aims to accomplish inspired the use of altered newspaper articles as a form of communication. Visually represented as redacted emails sent between two friends, the censorship of text results in the creation of new sentences.

Footnote 6 Amy Tabarly

Fictions construct the realities that each body lives out, so history, being built from collective memories, witnesses and interpreters of previous realities, cannot help but to concretise these fictions and pass them off as unwavering truth.
