How do we view the world around us? Artists excel at providing unexpected answers to this question. Our vision of the world is naturally formed by where and when we live, but it is also influenced by coincidence, an unexpected event and developments that sometimes continue for centuries. This means that the question ‘What do we see exactly?’ is perhaps even more interesting. Artists from the Rabo Art Collection reflect on these questions through their work.
