FIction in Jacek Malinowski's work is therefore a kind of virus, which the artist introduces into the organism of reality with the help of documentary syringe. Unlike the epidemic of misinformation that plagues public discourse in the 21st century, these "infections' are not designed to sow cognitive confusion, but to raise critical questions. How will reality behave if we introduce a "pathogen" into it - for example, in the form of a non-existent disease, a vampire, or an undefined but apocalyptic catastrophe. What will the symptoms of the "infection" be?
