LINES, LIVES AND LIES plays with the possibility of different storylines, histories, and narratives that can exist simultaneously and can be equally factual and fictional. Reality is intertwined with our sense of narrativity. We make sense of the world, of our history, by telling stories about it. We don’t speak of isolated events, but rather, we make connections, draw lines to establish causality and decide how events contribute to larger questions of identity. Lines, Lives and Lies is a rhythm of similar sounds, an echo of stories, where the lines between lives and lies become subtly blurred. In the form of video, in combination with installation, performance, and sculpture, the artists of this exhibition explore how we articulate our everyday lives through narrative. How do our stories produce the effects of our reality? Has the real already become too fictive to be fictionalized?
