my reality is not your reality

 

 

After significant projects, moments of indulgence or all-night clubbing, one is often devastated – not only physically, but also mentally (burnout, hangover, etc.), and we are forced to face the everyday reality that unfolds in front of young artists. It overlaps with various psychological traumas and the constant pressure of the art market on the ongoing production of art. This is the time when reality is often questioned because the perception of one’s reality can function independently of the concept of the real. It is here that the desire to be in another world, in another reality, manifests itself most strongly.
