    Concept

    Déjà vu, it refers to a person sees a scene for the first time in the awake state, but he will feel "Somewhere in time". The alienation of reality and the familiarity of memory produced by Déjà vu make it become a bridge connecting reality with illusory. 

    The concept of exhibition Déjà vu, attempts to create an almost impossible and compound paradoxical context, including dramatic conflicts relationship between individuals and the environment, between dreams and reality, between fiction and truth. The works might be the realistic projection of inner mind, or the connection of reality and memories, or the digital fiction of a dream. The exhibition brings the reopening of sensory senses and the rediscovery of certain circumstance that are going on in the audiovisual hybridity.
