What happens when the familiar slips away, when the everyday begins to shudder and twitch, and the harmless casts a shadow?
With eerily beautiful, we aim to lead you to that precarious edge where the uncanny begins to reveal itself.
Bringing together works of painting, sculpture, installation, and photography, the exhibition explores the zone between humor and horror, between play and disruption. It draws on concepts of the uncanny as described by Sigmund Freud and reinterpreted in contemporary art by figures such as Mike Kelley.
What emerges are not cheap effects, but subtle shifts—disturbances that call familiar images into question. Humor is not excluded; rather, it often accompanies the uncanny as a nervous laugh, a personal sensation, a social constellation.
