Whether you're creating a virtual-reality space, a photograph, a film or a model, what do you need to make it look 'real'? How much detail does the viewer need to experience it as genuine? Should you strive for a picture-perfect image? Zooming In On Reality, a forum organised by Platform 21 and Premsela, will examine realities in detail: the true-to-life, the fantastical, the genuine and the unreal. The guests are all people who play with reality in their own unique ways, pursuing particular intentions and using specific media and tools.

Discussion leader: Karim Benammar, philosopher
Guests: a.o. Pauline Kalker and Herman Helle of Hotel Modern, www.hotelmodern.nl Other guests are anounced later on.

Language: Dutch
