Csilla Babinszky, Budapest
The relationship of reality and illusion is not only a fundamental question of art but the blurring of the line between the two seems to be one of the most basic experiences of our day. Illusion is manifest not only in the 'real' phenomena of our object culture and environment (e.g. in the media), but it is present in every field of our life, creating an uncertain ground for the definition and interpretation of our existence in the world. Grasping the line between the real and the imaginary is, at the same time, an attempt at grasping the world and at self-identification. Is there a line that separates the imaginary from the real? And to what extent can the laws of the inner world of images correspond to the laws of the external world? Where is the borderline that separates the external world from the internal? To what extent and how is what we perceive, the way we define ourselves, determined culturally or by any identifiable condition?
The dilemma has been internalised – the questions multiply: Maybe our external relationships and relation to ourselves are experienced only as a projection of the self… So, do we like and accept in each other what we have already experienced and internalised or vice versa? Do we reject in others what we reject in ourselves?
Now, as Empedocles says: "In fact, we see and recognize in the world that which we already have in ourselves."
