Nothing is more difficult than knowing precisely what se see
hehe
From 24 April to 3 May 2026, The Master Studies Photography in collaboration with The Postgraduate in Curatorial Studies at KASK & Conservatorium presents Nothing is more difficult than knowing precisely what we see, a group exhibition bringing together 19 artists whose works explore photography as a space where perception, memory, and imagination intersect. Through images, installations, and archival materials, the exhibition questions what it means to see and how images can reshape our understanding of reality.As a human creation, photography mirrors the non-linearity of our existence, reflecting its subjectivity and abstraction. Expanding across different media, the exhibition opens a space to engage with a simple yet complex question: What do we actually see? Structured in six chapters, the exhibition unfolds as a journey through different ways of relating to the image; as trace, memory, projection, fiction, and matter. Borrowing its title from the philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, this exhibition invites visitors to reconsider vision. It is shaped by time, subjectivity, and context, both in the creation of the artwork and in its reception.
