“The sleep of reason produces monsters” — but perhaps it also gently pulls from the darkness what we once hid deep inside, hoping it would disappear on its own. The exhibition Deep Inside is neither illustration nor story. It is a short circuit between collective memory and a personal dream. A painting outside of time. A memory you are not sure ever happened.
The art group Union of the Impossible works with images found on the internet and in everyday life — visual formulas that randomly surface from the depths of the ordinary. Here, the meme is not a joke but a scar of culture, a brief affect, a visual formula of the collective unconscious. But once turned into painting, it slows down and becomes a cognitive rupture — an image that speaks without explaining.
Absurdity in these works is not a method but a tracing of the environment. Irony is not an embellishment but an act of psychological survival. These are paintings without answers, only sudden recognition. You thought it was a long-forgotten dream. Yet here it is again — before you. This exhibition is not meant for interpretation. It doesn’t need to be explained. It can only be let in. Like a gaze that seemed familiar. Like an unease you cannot name. Like a phrase heard in a dream, but never written down.
