Why is there a need to fictionalise the reality?

The literature shows significance of a work to real life by categorizing works into two types : Fiction and Non-fiction. (However, if you are a hard-core sci-fi geek like someone I once knew, you'd have a separate category for science-fiction) The virtual element to Randall Packer's work was in fact was the unifying element of couple of points under one heading. Like in his situational tour portrayals.

The crisis times are strong inspiration resources for artists because they see the crisis within the crisis most of the time. They are the ones who can read between the lines and make striking connections that invite people to think about real-life situations from another perspective.
The visit that we made into the hell resembled the striking connections between what we see as happening and what could be happening. We were taken back in time to those days when we were bombarded with news about what was going on and we had the confusion on what to believe in. Yet to have a grave and name it after the United States, was one of the clear indicators how far an artist can take his vision despite the rate of criticisms s/he can receive thereafter.
