Eszter Metzing continues to investigate the relationship between the conscious and the subconscious in this exhibition, exploring the influence of childhood and early adulthood on our adult identities. She seeks answers to three vital questions:

  • How do childhood experiences emerge and affect our adult life?
  • To what extent do these experiences influence our present?
  • How aware are we of these memories and their influences?
Her works are based on her own childhood memories as seen from her present. These memories blend together into surreal scenes, thoughts, emotions and sensations deposited in her psyche during her childhood, and still present in her conscious- and subconscious self today. Through her artistic research, Metzing also offers her past and present as a case study to probe theories on how the effects of positive and negative childhood experiences, small or major traumas affect our lives later on.
