In theory we believe in many, many, so many things. The content of something can sometimes be contradictory with its purpose. You’re a buyer of a general idea which is supposed to define society or a set of beliefs, and you’re at the same time a creator. Everything that you accept, adapt, integrate and consume exists under your decisions.

There are so many theorists and theories, so many cultural identities, religions, mindsets, influencers, spiritual healers, dealers, mystic stories, types of dragons, alter-egos, horoscopes, corporations, conspirations, creational myths, calendars, palm readers, rules – and more or less we adhere to trust some of them, as it is in our nature to believe. Information is coming quick towards us and we have to grab it from somewhere.

We specialized for this show to give you something that will tickle you. We will investigate together the unlimited possibilities of inventing new truths, and how an artist can make a purpose out of this, drawing a line between the convention of objective reality and the power of stories – and how this two merged together can influence and generate various stereotypes and archetypes.
