Wall triptych: Readiness SAGA

The Readiness SAGA is a serialized simulation of social conflict in the US. Kostis Stafylakis and Theo Triantafyllidis – alongside a shifting synthesis of collaborators – tailor real and fictional identities and scenarios to a fantasy world made of colorful salvage. The Readiness SAGA narrates a conflict between the “Preppers” (doomsday enthusiasts who marshal for the “end of the world as we know it”), the “Boogaloo Bois” (Civil War accelerationists, flexing tactical gear and Hawaiian shirts), and the “Golden Horde” (the alleged criminal horde of the unprepared citizens featured in preppers’ jargon and literature).
