Is what we look at what we really see? How much do we color our vision with our own nature and experiences? Each of us, looking, feels differently and perceives reality in our own way. The exhibition In Between shows that form is not one and final – it is suspended between the recognizable and the perceptible world. This means that the truth of the image is not what we see, but what is invisible, confronted with the two-dimensionality of the image literally and figuratively. In Between can be considered in two aspects: reflection on the seen form and the recognizable world, and the individual feeling that the surrounding reality evokes in us. The second aspect is illustrated by the silhouette of a person appearing in the images, perceiving and experiencing the space in which they are located. Contact with space creates a narrative resulting from the combination of a specific place, memories and feelings associated with it. Feelings illustrate everything that is between us and reality. Treating a work of art as a certain order, we mistake it for the real world, while it is only our product. Nevertheless, faith in this order is the path to the essence. Rejecting chaos and anxiety is also a kind of avoidance of the path to truth. After some time, it turns out that there is some undefined truth in this contradiction. Not being sure what exactly it is, we see clearly what it is not. The search for the essence is abstract, just like our thoughts and ideas breaking out of the real world towards what is not, but what can be. Towards the absent, inexpressible, which does not reflect, but shapes our image of the world. If a picture is a window, then a window is an opening, an opening of the inner to the outer, the filled to the unfilled.
