The exhibition Fortuna – to be honest, it moves is about believing in your dreams and giving happiness a chance. 

Nobody wanted to believe what Galileo Galilei said about the world: „To be honest, it moves.“ In everyday life we struggle with our hopes and fears. Our dreams can lose balance or change, but they never fade away. The ultimate fortune is to exist. It is enough. 

The exhibition involves digitally collected photo paintings which are printed on canvas. 
The paintings are for sale.
 

31st March, 6pm, Café Nordica, Zlatnická 10, Prague 1.

Until 31st May 2010.
Entrance: voluntary contributions.
