Inspired by a famous statement by French thinker Guy Debord, proclaiming that THE DAYS OF THIS SOCIETY ARE NUMBERED, this exhibition plays with the notion that at the beginning of the XXI century one is experiencing a period of fin de siècle. The state of affairs is questioned and a collective anxiety emerges – a situation caused by the feeling of political, economic, and cultural crisis that is permeating the Western world and creating a social entropy.
