The international group exhibition “Whispering with Eyes Closed” deals with being asleep and dreaming, and the unlimited possibilities experienced during this time. The main characters depicted in the works have suddenly fallen asleep or are already dreaming, embarking on journeys into the unknown. The viewer experiences a foreign world through someone else’s hazy gaze, letting go, giving up control. The boundaries between the imaginary and the real blur and a leap into the void is made, creating sometimes conscious, sometimes unconscious images.
