ADJACENT REALITIES
In order to deal with uncertain circumstances caused today by economic, ecological, and political crisis all over the world, we create images to reflect and understand the present and reach out toward an unknown future. We inhabit a world where – along with the dominance of visual experience – speculation and imagining what is about to come shape our daily routines, imbuing them with the subtle feeling that what emerges from this speculative course remains virtual or, more precisely, in a permanent status of potential realisation.
ADJACENT REALITIES presents a selection of visual and performance artists focusing on and envisioning current developments in the surroundings in which they are embedded. Various issues are explored via the mediums photography, sculpture, video and performance: what is real, what is virtual, how are the shifts within those alleged oppositions reflected upon and what images emerge as a result?
