A bit more about the concept of the show:
The apocalypse as the sum of the collective unconscious. A visual reflection on the problem of the boundary between the internal and the external, which lies in the world of dreams. The language of calligraphy is utterly undefinable, essentially bursts, exclamations, fragmented beginnings of phrases in different languages... Giant moving cities wandering through wastelands in search of resources. A dream emerging through the carousel of chaos, the creaking of destruction, a desire to hide inside and remain in a static point. The cosmos, which one can touch at the bottom of a large glass funnel left by a nuclear explosion. The creation of works in a futile attempt to escape the war, containing something that we all once had and were forced to part with. Humanity has adapted and now lives by new rules.
Expressionism, which emerged at the beginning of the 20th century as an artistic reaction to the horrors of wars and revolutions that swept across Eurasia, has once again become a significant way of culturally processing the complex and traumatic historical experiences of Europe and the Middle East in the current phase of the 21st century, now infused with the shades of the visual language of a new era.
