Where does reality end, and illusion begin?
Four artistic positions explore how perception is constructed and manipulated from different perspectives.
The works in this exhibition reveal the subtle mechanisms that shape our reality—showing how fact and fiction are often inseparably intertwined. Video works, photographs, and installations make us experience the fragility of our visual habits.
Tim Jakob questions the power of self-fulfilling prophecies in A Self-Defeating Prophecy. Organic, seemingly living forms turn out to be artificially generated. The Uncanny Valley effect creates irritation, prompting us to question our perception patterns.
While Jakob deliberately disrupts visual habits, Jascha Müller-Guthof contrasts the digital flood of images with analog photography. Without manipulation or staging, he captures raw, unfiltered moments. Light, structure, and transience become testaments to a world often lost in artificial noise. Is the absence of manipulation manipulative?
Katharin Ahrend’s photographic works explore the boundaries between nature and illusion. Her analog black-and-white photography creates dreamlike atmospheres and surreal structures—natural phenomena that seem to belong to another world.
Likewise, Görkem Gölbaşı’s installation Parrhesia plays with perception—on a linguistic and historical level. It reflects on the power of language and historical narratives. Six distorted amphorae bear terms like "postcolonial" or "posthuman," questioning what it means to live in a “post-” world. One empty amphora remains open to the present—an invitation to actively interpret and shape the future.
The exhibition is accompanied by live music, performances, and interactive spaces. More info coming soon at: instagram.com/weisestr.22
