Retroporno
As we find ourselves in times that have extensive socio-political implications, the exhibition thematizes the insecurity, the suspicion and post-factuality gradually digging into our lives more and more. The many ambivalent mechanisms trough which we cope with this uncertainty and multiplicity of artistic processes (either politically-critical, or completely non-factual and sensual, scientific or even speculative) of the abandonment of what is considered “real” or “rational” take their forms in the interconnected realms of the technological, the natural, the mystical, the symbolical.
Confrontations in public space are becoming more virulent. Protests gain traction, social tension is on the rise. Tension as a reaction to threat, an emotional roller coaster of strong convictions. The truth of convictions is shored up by shared emotional experience. Anger, loss of hope, feelings of remorse, anxiety; the emotional ties of mutuality.
