is the fourth exhibition of our 2019/2020 cycle and the last exhibition of this

year.

_____

Lethe - personification of forgetfulness, river of concealment, bringer of

oblivion. The shadows of the dead drink the river‘s mythical waters to forget

their mortal lives. A relief that only a few selected lost souls will

experience. Lethe is like a placid stream with the power to eliminate earthly

troubles. Entirely immersed in it, contours are slowly dissolving and will soon

disappear. Paralyzed and overwhelmed, Lethe decomposes everything and leaves

only behind a dull moment, a vast void.

All what is left is lost in an inaccessible swamp of personal residues.

Confusion of determination causes altered realities, loss of knowledge shatters

identities. Immersed in neutralizing fluid, the soul attains a perpetual

drowsiness, a spiritual sleepiness. It is the end of worries but a chance for

new beginnings. Minds are clarified. Innocence evolves into a reincarnated,

complex entity. Only that which can be forgotten can be remembered for a total

renewal.
