Is setting two \u2018correct\u2019 points of view against each other an \u2018incorrect\u2019 act? When put together, can \u2018wrong\u2019 bodies create the \u2018right\u2019 image?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another line of investigation is the link between \u2018wrong\u2019 and \u2018strange\u2019: something wrong going on is something strange, too. Strange images are a thread from which to read the uncanny and the unintelligible. Something \u2018not right\u2019 is not necessarily \u2018right\u2019 or \u2018wrong\u2019; it lies in that liminal, undefined region that, like Shr\u00f6dinger\u2019s cat, can only be observed by opening the box. In Something not right<\/strong>, all of these apparently contradictory facets are read both in the macro dimension (such as the nation-state) and in the lived individual experiences.

This kind of investigation, carried out by artists from very different backgrounds, has all the potential to reveal unexpected and original points of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
