The exhibition \u201cMy Fiction and You\u201d investigates how fiction and imagination create their own reality, to what extent they become collectivized and merge with our social surroundings. How powerfully do our imaginary notions of life overlap with reality, and how do they guide our actions and dominate us? The site-specific installations explore the relationship between fiction and the alter ego.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Is a counterpart needed to reflect us back to ourselves, or to allow us to establish a connection with them? The exhibition also questions to what degree the related concept of individual freedom might itself be an illusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their various inquiries into real and imaginary identities, the artists Andy Kassier, Britta Thie, Bianca Kennedy and The Swan Collective, and Mikka Wellner refer to the transfer and transformation of analogue life into the digital present and formulate what are, at times dystopian future scenarios.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

A provocative self-presentation, for instance, addresses the mode of operation and spectacular persuasive power of a profit-oriented individual and what role the viewer\u2019s desires and expectations play. References from pop culture and film history combine with reflections on the physiological foundations of seeing to create a sculptural and site-specific installation. Processes of \u201cgamification\u201d become visible when elements of a digital game are transferred into an analogous environment, where game and everyday life literally overlap. In the process, issues of commercializing one\u2019s own image and \u201ctrading,\u201d in other words \u201cdoing business\u201d with one\u2019s own persona in social media, are addressed. Last but not least, virtual Kafkaesque metamorphoses question our status and our future here on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
