When you decide to enter a fear chamber in an amusement park you know that you have to be very careful, because from this moment nothing is what it seems to be. You are concentrated and you weight every step you take. However, no matter how hard you try, in the end you get scared.
The space of ZERO Gallery, transformed into a field of sensual interference, becomes a place of similar experiences. Selected works create a constellation, where the viewers are left alone and have to face their own fears. The one straight answer will not be given. The atmosphere will push to look deeper, through the window of an empty house. People will see something more then just a night dress which is impossible to be worn or plastic bag dancing in the wind. In this situation should they still count on their self- confidence or senses?
Sorry, that is all what will be told. Too much explanation is unnecessary. There are things and phenomena that cannot be fully explained.
