In the contemporary age, reality surpasses imagination. The news break sometimes looks like a script of an old science fiction movie. The last few years have made us realise that anything is possible and so our ability to tell between truth and fake has been blurred. This situation has opened up the gate for absurd conspiracy theories to become the worldview of many.

Thus I found myself researching the process that a person goes through when they are exposed to a conspiracy theory. I found a connection to the hero's narrative we know from the cinema and the responsibility an individual has in disseminating conspiratorial information.

Most conspiracy theories relate directly to the political world and political figures. In many cases, these figures use these theories for political purposes. This fact made me wonder how politicians' interviews – as a 'stage' of political action can be analysed.

In the 'NOWORDS' platform, conspiracy theories and my research of truth are presented through the different reading of political interviews. This project offers an audience, that is often captivated by charisma, the opportunity to challenge everything for a moment and try to examine the use of language from a different angle.
