The Illusion of Choice is the central thread of this exhibition.
This is not just a philosophical formula, but an observation of the nature of the modern world, in which freedom has become part of the décor rather than an inner experience.

TEXT CURATORIAL

The Illusion of Choice is the central thread of this exhibition.
This is not just a philosophical formula, but an observation of the nature of the modern world, in which freedom has become part of the décor rather than an inner experience.

The exhibition’s title reflects this contradiction: the seeming possibility of choice becomes a mirror of our dependence on systems, habits, and fears.

Freedom appears to be a natural right, but its boundaries are subtly drawn by the system.

The weakness of modern society lies not in a lack of opportunities, but in the loss of inner resolve and in the habit of surrendering one’s own will to others. This is especially noticeable in art, where the fear of being misunderstood is often stronger than the desire to be honest.

True creativity requires not only taste but courage — the willingness to defy fear and speak when others remain silent. The artist always takes risks, and it is precisely this risk that restores meaning to art itself.
