‘Or is it the explosions outside that shake the windows?’
Italo Calvino
Inspired by the Italian musical term for ‘escape’, Drasko Boljevic draws from the contrapuntal, polyphonic techniques of the Baroque era, where a singular subject is introduced in imitation and recurs with rhythmic persistence, for the creation of ‘Fuga’.
The show presents an immersive experience composed of pieces that convey a reimagining of the classical past. As in a grand theatrical stage, the exhibition contraposes brutalist style sculptures with contemporary altars, installations that explore modern themes of art worship and devotion. Central to this dialogue is the ‘Baroque Light’ concept collection: reclaimed objects are reborn into sculptural lamps that serve as the soul of every installation, providing a focal point to the intersection of the sacred and the discarded.
‘Fuga’ weaves a thread between an imagined history and a possible future. The public is invited to step into this speculative world and discover its potential to reshape the atmosphere of their own living spaces.
