„The rhetorical form of D E C O D I N G Katy Perry’s Dark Horse ( T H E W H O L E
T R U T H ) by Karin Ferrari, is clearly inspired by a rich vein of inde-
pendent documentaries on YouTube which purport to uncover
or correctly analyze the symbolic manifestations of major conspiracies
in our public life. Set in Memphis – Egypt – and suffused with
hieroglyphic imagery, an ultra light pop-music video by the
eponymous American star receives a dogged, and deadpan, analysis
in a voiceover supplied by the artist. Like the underground media
whose idioms it highlights, Ferrari’s argument is by turns wei rdly
convincing and highly implausible.“

“ Karin Ferrari’s perilous expedition through the obscure terrain
of Antarctic ‘alternative facts’ has resulted in an appropriately
warped documentary. DECODING The Mysteries of Antarctica
(THE WHOLE TRUTH) will premiere onboard the Akademik Sergei
Vavilov scientific research vessel after it crosses into the
Antarctic Circle.” Nadim Samman
