The book explores how archival media - far from merely preserving reality - actively participate in the construction and falsification of it. Through the comparative analysis of Forgotten Silver (1995) and NASA's Man's Journey to the Moon (1969), the author interrogate how images circulate as reality or fiction depending not on their authenticity, but on the discursive systems that authorize belief.
Drawing on thinkers such as Jean Baudrillard, Jaimie Baron, and Michel Foucault, the book argues that we no longer live in an era where reality precedes representation; rather, we live within what the author call the Hyper Archive - a regime where mediated simulations overwrite experience itself.
This project is not about recovering the real, but about examining how legitimacy, belief, and memory are manufactured through signs, discourse, and power.
This work explores the unsettling terrain where fact and fabrication blur, proposing that in the age of the hyper archive, the question is not what is real, but what is readable as real.
