In The Time-Image, Deleuze describes the concept of the “faux” (the false) and examines how images not only reproduce truth but also create fictions that establish their own reality. He distinguishes between two forms of the false:

• The classical false (le faux classique): deception, manipulation, or intentional falsification. 

• The modern false (le faux moderne): a more complex form in which different temporal layers, perspectives, and realities blend, making truth and falsehood indistinguishable.

​

Danylo Kovach approaches this topic from personal observations and reflections, describing his work for the exhibition ERROR as follows:

"Disinformation in times of war as an essential ideological component of modern warfare.
The spread of myths in the stories of some of my colleagues inspired me to create a video performance in which artificial, plastic flowers interfere with the natural landscape. This performance is an example of how important it is for us to distinguish between real information and artificial propaganda myths."

​

Also in The Time-Image, Deleuze develops the concept of "crystalline images", which generate a kind of blur between reality and fiction. A crystalline image is not merely a representation of the world but contains self-reflective elements that render it unstable.

​

This concept resonates with the work of Alpár Dóczy. Engaging with what he calls "a reality bubble built on false or incomplete information," he developed two series:

• "PIXEL – and what lies behind it" and its continuation,

• "ERROR", which also lends the exhibition its title.

​​

In these works, he starts with the pixel as the smallest unit of the digital image. He sees it as a symbol of the infinity of digital information, while at the same time marking its limits and deficiencies, as a building block without depth.
In his graphic works, he interweaves digital and analog printing techniques, creating complex visual compositions that attempt to depict the irresolvable conflict between image, content, and truth.
