The theme is an invitation to authors to reflect on…
any kind of disruption in the established order, in perceptions, logic, thinking, in the "matrix". The study of these phenomena can go beyond the visible and look for those forces and interactions that cause them, that stress the usual order of things and that compromise established notions and clichés, thus creating the conditions for breakthroughs in the conjuncture, for new visions and movements that go beyond conventional frameworks. The object of the exhibition can also be: various distortions of space-time, of thoughts and emotions, of sensations, as well as noise in the signal, deviations from the course, from the readings of instruments for navigation in the world and society, politics, history.
However, disruptions are not just defects in the system or deviations from the norm. They are also gaps through which other realities often shine through, and contact with them is a chance to expand our ideas about things. Where is the disturbance actually - outside or inside us? Isn't something creating these "defects" on purpose to lift the veil of illusion and enable us to discover a new world? Is the new world not really the lost world we once had and belonged to? Isn't the intuition for us nostalgia for the lost wholeness, essence, for the "Lost Paradise"? Or perhaps the bitter awareness of loss of precious moments, situations, people, opportunities, of the broken relationship with nature, sometimes with people, with ourselves... and a desire to restore the relationship, to catch up on what was missed - a leitmotif, conscious or not, discovered or masked that goes through life.
