Shifted Realities: Exploring Fragmented Perception and Digital Existence in Contemporary Art

This exhibition explores the nature of reality in an increasingly digital and fragmented world, questioning whether we live in one singular reality or multiple versions. It features works by internationally renowned artists that delve into the boundaries between the digital and physical, social equality, and perception.

The exhibition 'Shifted Realities' grapples with fundamental questions about the nature of reality, positing that in recent years, both global and local politics have highlighted divided societies where each side may inhabit different realities. It further probes the significance of the growing digital world: can it be considered real, or is that privilege reserved for the tangible, physical space? With the democratization of personal expression via the internet and social media, our previously cohesive reality has begun to shift and become layered. The exhibition presents a series of works by internationally acclaimed artists—Marwa Arsanios, Ed Atkins, Adéla Babanová, Zach Blas, Paul Maheke, and Leslie Thornton—who offer various perspectives on contemporary existence, perception, and the boundaries between the digital and physical realms. These artists explore themes ranging from new visions of social equality and pushing the limits of perception to confronting inner worlds, expanding personal identities, and searching for a common language. The exhibition transforms the Rudolfinum's architectural space into a projection surface for visions of techno-utopian dreams, digital dystopias, new communities, and surreal theatrical scenes, all within the context of the gallery's long-term dramaturgical focus on time-based art.

Admission is free, and visitors can return at any time to continue exploring the exhibition. Last entry is strictly 30 minutes before closing time.
