“Real Fake Door invites you to a realm where illusion blends with reality, and portals transport you to uncharted territories. From a diverse group of international artists, the works challenge conventional norms of perception and understanding.
Real Fake Door encapsulates both paradox and concealed truths. It serves as a lens to examine themes of portals, deception, subversion and world-building. It asks you to question preconceived notions and to embark on an intellectual and aesthetic journey that traverses multiple dimensions of contemporary art. The notion of ‘real fake’ takes center stage. Here the mundane becomes sublime, and the subliminal becomes profound, all interwoven with threads of Americana.”
“In this matter of the visible, everything is a trap.’
- Jacques Lacan
