The exhibition In Between Reality plays with our ideas on reality and truth. The images give us a feeling of documentation and capture the city in a given moment but they only tell one side of the story while many more sides to the true experience of a place exist. Are the images realistic or romantic, simple or complex, welcoming or distancing, calm or intense? Or can we overcome this kind of dual thinking, that either-or and neither-nor judging?
The various elements of the image open up a multilayered story and ask us, in a subtle manner: How do we live? How conscious are we of each other and the places we frequent? How do we recognize a place and its changeability? What do daily routines mean for the city and what does the city’s rhythm mean to us? How real, how true is the representation of a place when it simultaneously changes under our gaze? How is the place affected by this?
In Between Reality is Johan Töpel's first art exhibition. He further works as a photographer in the realm of advertisment, portrait and architecture, as well as with film. He also has a previous background as a computer engineer. Many of the images are taken with an analogue 4x5" camera with the images processed digitally afterwards.
