The turning point is the moment of the solstice, in which the change becomes inevitable, in which the current order of the individual or the world begins to somble and reality transforms. This phenomenon is present in the structure of the universe, in human history and in intimate spaces of individual life.
Artistic jewelry, suspended between the body and idea, seems to be the perfect carrier of the story of transformation, about the transition from the old to new, from chaos to order, in pain in sense. Stories about moments that change everything.
Creators from around the world were invited to the exhibition "Right point", and their task is a personal, bold, original interpretation of the slogan of the lecturer, facing the topic of a breakthrough - the moment of transformation, when the current order is collapsing and reality takes on a new shape.
