The Perfect Crime. The Conspiracy of Art.

"The Perfect Crime" is a return to the theme of "Simulacra and Simulation" 15 years later, when the hyperreality predicted by Baudrillard came to life under the name of virtual reality, and virtually everyone encountered various simulacra and simulations. But... what happened to reality in the process? It disappeared. And not just disappeared, but, as the author states, it was murdered. The murder of reality is the perfect crime. This thrilling philosophical detective story is dedicated to investigating this murder, its causes, and consequences, and has become Baudrillard's most translated book.
"The Conspiracy of Art" is a collection of articles and interviews dedicated to contemporary art, which was directly influenced by Baudrillard. His radical theories inspired filmmakers, writers, and artists alike. Therefore, his explosive "The Conspiracy of Art" had the effect of a bombshell among the art elite. However, how Baudrillard arrives at his disheartening conclusions regarding contemporary art becomes clear only in the context of his larger and multi-faceted work, "The Perfect Crime." This publication restores that context.
