In the exhibition "Beyond the Looking Glass" - inspired by Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass" - Works will be exhibited that deal with following thematic areas: Transformation and Metamorphosis, Technological Interventions, Mirrors and Reflections. 

Works by artists will be displayed, functioning within the exhibition as reflections: both internally, between the artists and viewers. The works exist within a liminal context of the exhibition, encompassing both artificially intelligent based images - technology within our visualized and socialized worlds - as well as physical objects that equally address contemporary themes of self-mediated personalities and compositions that evoke situations reminiscent of classical portraits from art history. 

Ideas of authenticity and authorship are challenged and rejected upon viewing the works. Bodies are considered akin to history, landscapes are seen as new realities, and at times, are led into the realm of the grotesque. The works reflect the contemporary world, where digital and physical realities merge and the boundaries between them blur. 

Transformation and Metamorphosis in the exhibition focuse on how artworks can prompt viewers to contemplate their own identity and self-perception. Through the exploration of various perspective and forms of expression, visitors are encouraged to engage with questions of personal identity, selfawareness, and inner journey. The exhibition investigates how modern technologies such as artificial intelligence can be used to create alternative realities and landscapes.

Mirrors and Reflections explores the symbolic significance of mirrors and reflections in art. Artworks may employ the concept of reflection, both literally and metaphorically, to raise questions about identity, self-awareness, and dual reality. Through the observation of these works, visitors are prompted to contemplate the relationship between the self and the world around them. Societal, political, and cultural realities that shape our world are also addressed.
