Blurred Reality "Disoriented"
Blurred Reality is an ongoing project by Swiss photographer Cindy Bissig, and this year’s exhibition continues where last year’s “Blurred Reality” left. “Disoriented” is the second exhibition of this ongoing project created in 2021.
Blurred Reality
"Blurred Reality" highlights the fine line or grey area between reality and our imagination. Beautiful places of escape. It deals with isolation and how easy it is to drift into a seemingly comfortable and perfect world of our own making. An escape into a beautiful yet empty world deprived of human connection.
