Scores for fake authenticity is a performance built from gestures that seem authentic in public space but are, in fact, rehearsed. Three performers move gently among visitors. Leaning on walls, daydreaming, singing with headphones: actions that feel spontaneous yet are carefully choreographed. As the audience observes these intimate micro-moments, the work reveals the inherent performativity of everyday life and how authenticity itself can be practiced. The quiet simplicity of the performance sharply contrasts the surrounding billboards that suggest an epic spectacle.
