Dear Visitor,

Self-reflection, or the contemplation of our inner state, may seem to be a preppy practice of detachment from the most average person imaginable.

Though somehow to reach the divine level of self-reflection is difficult and unlikely in this world: A world where constructing and consolidating comfort is on what structures and interactions within society are essentially based. Facing comfort can be an encounter of high gravity… and of great boredom.

Most humans are forced into the deepest state of self-reflection when arriving from a different world, sphere or community, finding them selves in an under-privileged position. Caught in there; they are forced to reconsider the value they embody and represent.

The exhibition combines self-made paintings and vintage posters of political and social demands. Together they turn into metaphors for the struggle of self-determination, that existential exercise that paves the consciences of our time.

Here, and at some point, this question might rise: Is there any other event beyond the exhibition that could retaliate the relation of truth and nature for us as a radical force of togetherness and singularity?
