Wry Sky

Wry Sky by Dominika Dobiášová (*1996) at Berlinskej Model addresses a desire both ancient and immediate: the impulse to flee into an imagined elsewhere. Set against the backdrop of ongoing political crises and planetary collapse, the works within the exhibition reflect a longing for escape and a nostalgia for redemption, even as the “burning planet” hangs above us like a Damoclean sword. The biblical Garden of Eden, once envisioned as a place of innocence and harmony, resurfaces here as a paradoxical projection: a utopia invoked precisely when its promise seems most unattainable.
