Hyperreal Outdoors


Hyperreality is basically th inibility to distinguish reality from fantasy. It is a means to characterize the way consciousness defines what is actually real in the world where a mulitude of media can radically shape and filter an original event or experience.

It can be recognised within symbols and signs where people see something as having a meaning for example the Mayor wears gold chains around his neck to show people his importance and power but in actual fact they are just chains, and if a normal street child was wearing them it would be classed as a 'chav'

I see Hyperreal Outdoors as a place that is man made, something that portrays as real but isnt, like a football stadium with false grass or even a beach that has been man made.
