This set of photos was inspired by a virtual game. Is the way we experience games also a reflection of real life?

Nowadays, virtual games are becoming more and more real, and people are constantly pursuing perfect picture quality and rich sensory experience. The line between simulation and reality becomes blurred. That’s why I question the meaning of real life. If all experiences can be gained from virtual things, is it necessary for us to talk about real life? Is what we perceive as real life also some kind of “simulation”, part of some kind of program?

In order to explore this issue, I collected materials in reality and simulated some fictional and conflicting scenes. These images seem to me a reconstruction of reality as well as a simulation of fiction. What I want to show is such an illusory world of contradiction.
