“Little man, what now? may be our most existential issue yet. We approach it as a cultural, philosophical, and political question but also as a contemporary emotional condition. What does it mean to feel small when political life is organized around domination and spectacle? What forms of critique can still find resonance? Can art survive identification with power, or is artistic production structurally dependent on distance, otherness, and the appearance of what power tends to render invisible?
With this open call, Simulacrum Magazine invited writers and artists to approach the question not as a problem to be resolved, but as one to be activated visually or textually.”
