The exhibition presents works that have all one aspect in common: there is another layer behind the obvious. All the photographs, installations and video works include hidden messages, they
show a truth behind the illusion, an illusionary truth. Whether there is a volume just animated, a hidden content just rediscovered, whether a well-known surfaces vanishes or a room suddenly become obvious - the viewer's work, the discovery of the hidden ist creating the intensity of the imagination.
Fun with the discovery of hidden reality is created by curiousity. You will be surprised, astonished and disappointed.
Where you expect the artificial, reality shows up again! A reality, that is that artificial, that you believe in former doubts again. The art works of the exhibition share all artists' intention: dealing with the hidden or actively covering is generating a new truth, a new and indiscribebable reality, something like an after-image.
