- –22.3. 2026 VIOLENCE+ group exhibition of current hyperrealism
Violence+ refers to augmented reality. Everything is hyperreal now. We do not perceive the world through primary sources such as our senses and nature; we read it through the media. From news reports, travel journalism, dramatic series or online platforms. And as if reality itself were not enough, we prefer illusion, condensation, intensification, and emphasis on everything: horror, hatred, cruelty, violence, manipulative dominance. We choose our own versions of stories, we are attracted to or, conversely, avoid what is labelled violence, sex, language+. Can we maintain an awareness of goodness, truth, and love in such an environment?
