The PDT Secrecy Study Report Vol.1 is an amalgamation of conceptual dystopian art, fashion, satirical storytelling, and staged photographs. The theme of secrecy pervades our art book. This subject is accentuated with the inclusion of a poster depicting our fictional TS-05 device – a machine that listens to and exposes the secrets of those who use it. / Featured Artists: Chris Coatham, Elaine Reichek, Frida Orupabo, Jean Malek, Jon Rafman, Kasser Sanchez, Kristian Kahn, Mattew Girolami, Olivier Raymond, Patrick Goddard, Sage Szkabarnicki-Stuart & Yasmeen Nematt Alla.
"Truth always has ulterior motives. The battle of the sexes is a proxy war fought by algorithms, political exposés are red herrings, a forest of surveillance cameras obscure the view. Semiotic invisibility is the name of the game. The real is something you stumble upon. Keep walking."
