THE DELUSION

“Let’s have the difficult conversations” 

Published in conjunction with Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley’s 2025 exhibition at Serpentine Galleries, London – a new video game commission and multiplayer immersive experience that explores themes of polarisation, censorship and social connection – THE DELUSION imagines a “new bible for emotional processing” and offers intimate insight into the project, as well as the artist's wider practice in a gamified interactive style.
