The OUT OF LIFE exhibition is meant to create a sociological study in which the curators and artists alike will ask themselves questions about the role of boundaries in the contemporary reality. It will touch upon such issues as alienation, loneliness and, most of all, escape. The exhibition results from a simple interest in people and their place in chaotic and uncertain daily life, which floods us with countless stimuli, mass of information, questions and possibilities. In such a situation, what does it mean to be ‘out of life’? Where are the boundaries which separate ‘within’ and ‘out of’? How do we, skilfully or not, consciously or not, try to cross them? Or maybe escape, by creating virtual worlds?
