Play is a fundamental mode of being in the world for all living organisms – a comedic and anarchistic character of existence.
 It resembles a game, an all-absorbing play in which we abandon obvious concepts and solutions.

Immersion in playful absurdity makes it possible to communicate one's own stories and to create a space of contemporary entropy. Reality is not a rigid structure, but a flow of relations in which objects and beings play with one another. The exhibition is based on free, uncontrolled interaction between elements of the world. It is at once joy and uncertainty, as well as an experiment: an experience of unpredictability. This ontological game manifests itself in the process. Play becomes an adaptive strategy – a way of adjusting to reality, a performative exploration of uncertainty.

The project explores play as a free, open activity; as one of the fundamental mechanisms of interaction with reality. It is not separate from life, but constitutes its immanent element – an act that allows the individual to move through the world.
