This group exhibition investigates the intersection of representation and materiality, encouraging curiosity in the face of uncertainty. Through their work in photography, sculpture, and installation, the included artists reference architectural facades, patterns of brickwork, archways, and structural interventions to flatten, fold, and manipulate space. By disrupting conventional spatial logic, these works invite viewers to reconsider the boundaries between the built and the perceived, reinvigorating the magic that happens when we investigate deeper and reminding us that trickery is not necessarily deception, but a mode of discovery.

Together, these artists construct a dialogue on how we build, inhabit, and remember space. Using analog and labor-intensive techniques—metalwork, photography, model-making, casting, and carving—they complicate our perception of depth and structure. The exhibition foregrounds the role of perspective in shaping our understanding of reality, an urgent concern in an age of digital renderings and algorithmically generated environments.
