Fairytales and lullabies are not just genres of oral tradition. They are the roots of our experiences, our first introduction to a world of fantasies and symbols, which we receive from childhood. Fairytales often teach us lessons about the struggle between good and evil, courage, justice, and moral choices. They are filled with myths and archetypes that encapsulate the deepest human emotions. As Charles Perrault wrote in "Cinderella": “Only those who can wait will be given the opportunity to experience a miracle.” These stories become bridges into a world of understanding and symbolism, shaping our worldview from an early age. Lullabies, in turn, have the power to lull and soothe. They are full of rhythmic, melodic phrases that create an atmosphere of calm and security. However, beneath this softness lies deep symbolism — lullabies convey love and care, strengthening the bond between parents and children. As one of the most famous lullabies goes: “Sleep, my angel, sleep, my light, the night has come, and sleep will follow.” This is a kind of first experience of interacting with emotions and care, which not only comforts but also teaches the foundations of trust and confidence. How do fairytales and lullabies intersect with the world of contemporary art? Artists often turn to myths, archetypes, and symbols to create new ways of perceiving. In their works, they explore the inner world of the human being, capturing those invisible processes that happen within our consciousness and emotions. In Charles Perrault's "Little Red Riding Hood," for example, we see how a little girl confronts the horrors of the outside world, but in the end, she gains a new perspective on her life, much like the processes of self-reflection in contemporary art. These art pieces allow us to dive into a world where magic and reality intertwine, and each element becomes a symbol carrying deep meaning. Contemporary artists such as Wendi, Benjamin Ramírez Pérez, Ida Lindgren, Minsook Kang, Alexandra Mas, and others create spaces for exploring emotions and perception in a world where magic meets reality. In their works, they address themes of the inner world, the interaction of body and space, and strive to combine visual and sound forms, creating new ways of experiencing. Through installations, videos, and performances, they offer us a way to view modernity through the lens of magic and fantasy, leaving room for personal experiences and reflections. Their art, like ancient fairytales and lullabies, immerses us in a world of symbols and emotions, where we find not only comfort but also new ways of understanding ourselves and the world. In this intersection of art and magic lies a special power — the ability to return us to those fundamental truths and feelings with which our perception of reality begins. As Hans Christian Andersen said in "The Fisherman and His Wife": “All strength is in the heart, and if the heart is pure, the world around will be bright.”
