It is impossible to describe an illusion. One perceives that an experience is an illusion, but cannot simultaneously observe oneself perceiving an illusion. You can try this in the exhibition: either one goes close to the landscape painting to study how the brushstrokes change on the canvas with distance, or one becomes absorbed in thought in the picture and surrenders to the painting in all its complexity. Technique of painting and depiction allow the viewer to move from one idea to the next.
Also entertaining about this exhibition is the juxtaposition of the painting styles of both artists. We showed works by Karoline Kroiss for the first time in Berlin when she was still a student of Dieter Hacker.
