Refrigerator Illusion is an exhibition that asks whether the storage, production, distribution and consumption of refrigerator-dependent foods are healthy and sustainable amid the crisis facing contemporary humans, including population growth, resource depletion, and climate change. Starting with this awareness, Exhibition Refrigerator Illusion wants to talk about the various problems behind the convenience and efficiency brought by refrigerators through works by visual artists, designers, and makers, and documentary films and broadcasting content.

We tried to capture the multi-layered meaning of refrigerators as the main graphic motif of refrigerators that provided revolutionary convenience to humans in the industrial age. The refrigerator, which shines alone in a black-and-white space, was a splendid fantasy for mankind in itself, but symbolically reveals the problem behind it through a background image that darkens when the refrigerator’s door is closed.
