The exhibition 'Escape Room' comprises an immersive installation based on the concept of Plato's cave. Referencing Plato's cave through the logic of contemporary escape rooms, the pavilion becomes a space of self-confrontation rather than resolution. Images, feedback loops, and staged realities place the viewer at a critical distance from themselves, mirroring a condition shaped by post-truth, mediated experience, and cultural consumption. Taking the year 1934 and Nazi ascendancy throughout Europe as a starting point, the work investigates the desire to abandon chaotic reality in favor of frictionless virtuality. Curator: George Bekirakis.
