Cycles of Reality examines the subjective, fluid nature of existence by positioning the exhibition space as a site of collective inquiry into the limits of perception. Curated by Martim Brion at Kunstquartier Bethanien, the exhibition brings together twenty-two distinct artistic positions to interrogate how reality is constructed, negotiated, and ultimately transformed. By assembling a diverse array of perspectives, the show moves beyond a singular narrative, instead fostering a dialectic where individual inquiries into form and meaning coalesce into a broader investigation of contemporary consciousness. Rather than seeking a definitive resolution, the exhibition functions as a multifaceted, temporal landscape where the boundaries of the real are perpetually challenged, reshaped, and expanded.
