It conveys real proximity, the effort of approaching, and the affective resonance it creates. “True” points to realities obscured by social norms and algorithms, yet always present. Through their works, artists continually touch, trigger, and even transgress established imaginaries to expose hidden realities and rewrite the meanings of gender and existence. The body—disciplined and expected in the real world, and ampli ed by algorithms online—becomes, in art, a site of response and resistance. When bodies act beyond social expectations, they are often seen as violations of order; yet it is precisely such gestures that provoke confrontation, forcing viewers to face truths and prejudices while opening cracks for new perception. True asks how, in an era where reality and digital intertwine, artists invite viewers to re-examine strategies of existence. Gender here is not fixed but fluid, flickering in the fissures and revealing new truths at the thresholds. 297
