Dark Night of the Soul

"Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."

"C.G. Jung, Psychology and Religion (1938)"

This exhibition approaches the "Dark Night of the Soul" not merely as an individual experience but as a societal mirror. We examine the claim that humanity's repressed collective shadows lie at the root of many social problems, from wars to environmental destruction, from discrimination to economic inequality.

The works in the exhibition invite us to confront our individual and collective darkness, to question our suppressed aspects, and to understand the reflections of this darkness on a societal level. This confrontation also carries the potential to create a space for hope and transformation.

Rather than offering easy answers, this exhibition aims to pose unsettling questions and encourage viewers to reflect on their inner worlds and the world around them.

The translation maintains the philosophical depth and poetic quality of the original text while ensuring clarity and fluidity in English. It preserves the key concepts of Jung's shadow work and the exhibition's exploration of both personal and collective unconscious elements.
