Exhibition: TRAVELLERS
Dates: 04.10.-23.11.2019
Venue: Gdańsk City Gallery - Günter Grass Gallery
Curator: Marta Wróblewska
Description:
What is travelling? A physical movement in time and space? A spiritual journey through memories and fantasies? A way to discover the mysterious unknown? A longing to find a new kind of sensation within yet undisclosed realms?
Undoubtedly, travelling has always been connected with a fascinating experience. The movement itself already implies a process, a transformation, a passage from one state into the other, during which one becomes a hopeful wanderer, a utopian explorer.
Let us take you on a trip that will constitute a poetic and dreamy metaphor between the reality and fantasy, between tangibility and intangibility, between now and then, here and there. Let it become a perfect kind of space for a unique experience which would lead you to the roots of your existence constituted by memories, flashbacks, traditions, myths, phantoms. Do not hesitate to enter the timeless labyrinth that will guide you through a vision of somewhat obliterated past towards an unknown mysterious future. Immerse in magical landscapes, let yourself become bewitched and possessed by them. Perform a symbolic march, a spiritual ceremony guiding you towards better self-awareness, the rite of passage bringing you closer to unravelling the mystery of life. Explore this moment until the enigma of the universe permeates you, and the surrounding reality becomes a poetic simulacrum, while you turn into a mystical traveller.
