The exhibition includes paintings, graphics and sculptures by authors reflecting on the experience of passing a path full of unexpected dangers and amazing discoveries. The artists will illustrate a wide range of impressions and circumstances that await a person during the journey. Images of flora and fauna are the main leitmotif of the project, tearing the viewer away from contemporary troubles in the form of a non-working bank card and directing him into the bosom of nature to meet the elements and living beings. It is at this moment that the archetypal image of the hero-seeker who has made great discoveries unconsciously awakens.
In the usual view, travel involves a temporary departure from home and the obligatory return of a person full of new experience and knowledge. But sometimes such an adventure from a short-term event can develop into a nomadic lifestyle in search of oneself or a new home. The journey to home is a path of internal and external transformations, gains and losses. An endless search for the unknown or a return to the old. Escape from reality to yourself through the whole world.
As part of a parallel program to the exhibition, the DiDi Gallery team will conduct a series of curatorial tours of the exhibition, invite viewers to the updated interior space of the gallery and release a series of interviews with young artists at the DiDi Gallery Store.
