<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">A ‘double life’ conventionally is a life of two
identities where one is simultaneously involved in two sets of circumstances
and retains the secrecy of one from the other. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">The exhibition hopes to explore these two sets
exposing the dichotomies of fiction and reality, mirror images and opposing
forces. ‘Double lives’ cater for a parallel existence whether it portrays
deceiving acts or insatiable actions and can as subtle as a pen name or as
exaggerated as the secret identity of a super hero; ultimately why are they
adopted? </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">Rene Descartes and Gilbert Ryle both contest from
separate perspectives that our biographies- mind and body- are divided but can
along in parallel without being the same entity. </span></p>
