The exhibition "Let's Face the Truth" is an invitation to a joint journey through the human person and the evolution of its documentation. We are never concerned only with self-portraits - although they are one starting point - but with a wide spectrum of portraiture: ourselves and others, individuals and collectives, intimacy and things dragged out. This is a study of persons who never follow the beaten path, but give voices to characteristic, emerging artists whose portrait is an experiment, expression and dialogue. The history of the portrait to the history of the constant negotiation of what is visible and invisible, authentic and created. From expressionist deformations that are subject to appropriate regulations, through queer redefinitions of gender and identity, to performance and the art of self-commentary - the portrait has never been just a regulatory provision. It is a field of struggle or the right to be oneself, to perform one's own complexities, to tell one's own story in industrial devices.
