Come as you are (News from Absurdistan) is an installation made up of five cardboard boxes covered with collages combining archive images and screenshots of publications from the satirical Facebook page 'News From Absurdistan'. The selected Facebook publications, reporting real but absurd events, are set against images of digitised newspaper cuttings. The dialogue created by merging these different sources of information tends to blur both the context and the very origin of the information and creates an alternative, hybrid meaning. The series aims to highlight the excesses and simplification of media consumption habits in a context of fragmented information and post-truth.

The shape of the objects is based on the emblematic Happy Meal box, marketed by fast food giant McDonald's since 1979, as a symbol of the link between mass consumption and pop culture when these are linked to a process of abundance. The title Come As You Are was inspired by the eponymous track from counter-culture band Nirvana's album Nevermind (1991), which was subsequently re-appropriated by McDonalds as a marketing slogan in 2008.
