The
EROS project refers to these spheres of our lives which are often
hidden behind a curtain of shame, prohibition, public
stigmatizationand taboo. Eroticism, however, is one of the most basic
human needs.Carnality and the desire inseparably connected with it,
depending on the professed values, can be both a curse and
fulfillment. The desire to recognize yourself, to find hidden areas
of the body, as well asprocreation, search for your sexual identity
or sexuality - notalways unambiguous - in the imposed binary reality
of the world, are individual challenges of each person. EROS in
culture has many meanings and interpretations. Subsequent epochs,
philosophicalattitudes and religions sculpted the image, showing the
richness andthe diversity of visions of human physicality and love,
sex and the fulfillment of needs. How has the 21st century affected
sexuality? Has virtual reality become another form of experiencing
and recognizing our physicality? Have the recent years of the
sanitarycrisis, when the ordinary human contact has been subjected to
restrictions and social bans, simultaneously developed our hidden
need for the close physical proximity? Has the development of science
and religious totalitarianism's influenced the limits of our
knowledge and shame? Observing art, it seems that EROS, also today,
has a well-established position. In the EROS project the exhibition
of selected works will be representing artistic attitudes of the
artists tackling this topic, it will be the act of entering the space
of human senses, phantasms and desires
