For their second collaborative exhibition and within the framework of EMOP 2025, PEP and Kommunale Galerie Berlin present the works of 40 international artists connected through the theme of « Parallel Realities ».

Originally conceived as a tool to represent reality, photography ultimately gives a fragmented vision of it. Its dynamic ability to both reflect and shape reality places it in an ambiguous position that the exhibition will explore through multiple angles : the role of the photographer as an artist and its freedom to represent and recreate reality, the fabricated narratives embedded in the editing, omitting and selecting processes of image making, the influence of the viewer and the context in which pictures are received, the impact of new visual technologies partly fueled by AI learning, etc.

​

This plurality of approaches will be reflected by a selection of artists coming from different continents and contributing to these parallel realities each in their own way, inviting the public to navigate in a visual landscape where reality is not just presented but questioned, constructed, and even challenged, blurring the boundaries that shape our lives and illuminating the connections that transcend them.
