Based on the subject of aerial photography, Cute Paranoias compares the nature of Western masculinity and speculative thinking, in reference to the phenomena of crop circles, notions of truth and the inherent territoriality effect of fear mongering. Santos examines the response of territorialism in the West as a product of speculative truth in information media. Using irony to analyze the tone of conspiratorial anxieties, Cute Paranoias emphasizes documentary photography as a speculative practice and interrogates its impact on the public.
