Trompe L'oeil is an artistic technique that affects the viewer's perception through optical illusions (necessarily, for example, by making a flat image appear three-dimensional). The artists are interested in both historical frameworks and contemporary visual manifestations, both in building spatial illusion and heightening perception, and in entertaining simple but still effective "magic". To do so, they use various media and technological formats such as airbrush murals, text or sculptural reliefs.

The connecting element of the exhibition is the elemental life-giving element and magical symbol preserved for many ages - fire. A functional furnace and rising smoke will become the focal point of the exhibition. The shared experience of many a loud (or silent) prayer can be a connection to ancestors present, future and past in one precious time. In the gallery installation, tapestries, a moving image, and clumps of plants will come together, waiting to be burned in communal gatherings. The artists dedicate these to three themes: winning friendships, summoning rain, and divinatory and prophetic dreams.
