Queen of Realism

Ein Mann mit kurzem blondem Haar und rotem Hemd steigt scheinbar aus einem großen, aufrecht stehenden Bilderrahmen heraus. Er hat ein Knie nach vorne gesetzt und hält sich mit beiden Händen am Rahmen fest. Der Hintergrund zeigt einen geometrischen, gekachelten Boden. Die Szene wirkt wie eine optische Illusion, als würde der Mann aus dem Bild in den Raum treten.

I see you! I know it for sure, even when I know that I don't know.
In a world where reality is becoming increasingly difficult to grasp, we ask ourselves how much illusion humans need in order to understand the world, orient themselves, or follow their dreams. Are illusions the motor of our dreams or insidious seductions? Where does reflection begin and truth end?
Between art and science, magic and reason, we explore the moments when perception and deception collide, reality bends, and truth eludes us.
A humorous evening full of imagination, research, and personal experiences that invites us to make the invisible visible and question the visible.
