Many things that we encounter we carry inside ourselves. We embody some things within ourselves. They gain or have a very special meaning for us, so that we like to call them up for ourselves with all our emotions and feelings, all our wishes and dreams, or even share them with other people.
A counterpoint to the “Encounter” exhibition was quickly formed by the second exhibition “Into-Vision”. Again and again, photographs were taken that did not really fit in with the concept of “Encounter”, that went beyond – or, to put it better, underneath, inwards. Such works addressed more desires, longings and especially the subconscious.
Finding a title for the exhibition was difficult at first – because something like "subconscious" sounded too dry. So – what comes from the subconscious: dreams – and thus the “Dreamings” were born. The topic never had the pretence of irrelevance that the term “dreaming” is often accused of. Nor did it ever claim to be trivial, even if some things seem trivial or people dismiss them as trivial. These things were genuine, honest and open.
Soon, “Dreaming” was no longer the right term, which never really wanted to get rid of this banality. “Into-Vision” was born of an intuitive moment:
not just like that, but explicitly the vision inwards.
not just like that, but explicitly the vision inwards.
In the first photo gallery, in which the entrance areas to the exhibition spaces were explicitly painted, the sculpture “Wavy Lady” by an unknown artist from Kent stood behind the entrance to today’s “Into-Vision”. With her femininity and the water surrounding her, she symbolises the significance of this exhibition. The museum’s current presentation no longer shows the entrance areas. So, we simply have to imagine the sculpture in the centre of the exhibition space. Of course, there is a picture of the “Wavy Lady” in the exhibition.
So, let’s begin our little tour that takes us through the thematic areas of this exhibition.

This picture is certainly one of the oldest, created before the earlier gallery as an experimental study from an even older picture (of a former girlfriend with myself).
Together with the quote from the song “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac, this scene is also intended to represent the dream of love and togetherness - and was even the inspiration for this exhibition for a moment.
