Come and train your eye to recreate your everyday reality. "Creative Realities – In the Mind of the Beholder" draws on two strands of visual experiences which come alive through the interaction between various layers of everyday reality, re-creating themselves – in the mind of the beholder.

One series is about how reality gets re-configured and re-layered through perception, and becomes ambiguous once unattached from the actual time and space context it was conceived in.

The other series is about everyday situations where art and life interact, spontaneously and creatively. Within the exhibition these two series are in a dialogue through shared context and perception.

The installation Allegro Barbaro, as part of the exhibition, is also about the realities of a creative life. It is about how life, art, and memory interact in the life a concert pianist, preparing for a concert. Allegro Barbaro was written and directed at Harvard, by Zsuzsanna Ardó. Most recently this film has been featured at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. Allegro Barbaro is a visual poem to music, with a non-linear triple flashback narrative.

Zsuzsanna Ardó is a member of the British Film Academy, British Association of Journalists, and the founding chairman of the Hampstead Authors' Society. Her books include CultureShock! Hungary, How to be a European, and Love Blues – Hungarian Rhapsodies.
