Chopsticks In A Glass Of Water | Flipside 2nd Group Exhibition Introduction

To me, you, him and her, what is "true” and what is "false"?

There is a famous example – a chopstick placed in a glass of water. The refraction of the water gives the illusion that the chopstick is curved. In reality, to say that “the chopstick is curved” would be wrong, while saying that “a chopstick in a glass of water viewed from the side is curved" would be correct.

How does this apply to us?

There are truths and falsehoods in the world. Truth is sometimes difficult to detect, while falsehood may seem tangible and real. How do we define true and false? According to Plato's Allegory of the Cave, we make definitions simply based on our subjective and cognitive judgment.

Everyone has their own water glass and their own opinion on the shape of the chopstick. What do you see and what happens when it is placed in your glass of water?
