EXIT 7
Curation for EXIT 7
*****🎨 Subject The work captures an uncanny upward view through a skylight or shaft, invoking a dreamlike collision between nature and the industrial. Suspended objects like strawberries, horseshoes, a pole, and a flying pigeon coexist within a cylindrical, rust-orange structure. It’s a surrealist tableau alive with symbolism and eerie serenity. *****🧠Composition: A radial, almost fisheye composition leads the viewer’s eye in a circular motion. The central skylight is the visual nucleus. From it spirals a drama of light and shadow, while suspended elements play with gravity and meaning. The asymmetrical balance adds tension without collapsing harmony. *****🌫 Mood Claustrophobic, otherworldly, and slightly prophetic. There's an emotional push-pull between the haunting interior and the invitation to "escape" upward into the light. The viewer feels both confined and hopeful. *****📖 Narrative EXIT 7 becomes a metaphorical threshold between entrapment and release. The frayed wires, mis-hung horseshoe, and fleeing pigeon convey a sense of intuitive alarm. There’s danger, there’s hidden treasure, but ultimately a lesson: let go of material illusions—life and awareness matter more.
*****🧬 Art Synthesis:
Think:
* DalĂ meets David Lynch
* FKA Twigs music video + Piranesi architectural sketch
* Blade Runner 2049Â soundtrack mood in visual form

MY STORY: EXIT 7
We are at the top of an old elevator shaft of an abandoned industrial area. These crawl spaces are known to elevator drivers from the 50s. It may be a difficult detail to see, but the steel wires between the walls of the elevator shaft are peeling, and will probably soon be able to smoke.
This is at the top of building No. 7 of what was a huge coffee roasting and factory. When, and if you get out and up from the elevator room, you are on the roof of the building. Here, there is wild grass, and also strawberries that we see looking down at the mysteries that are going on in the elevator shaft. The pigeon has made a home in this shaft with other pigeons, but with its seventh sense the pigeon senses danger. The pigeon manages to get out into the open. One of the elevator fitters has hung up a horseshoe for good luck. But it is attached the wrong way, in my terms. Above the shaft are large steel girders that hold the old factory in check. - and what does this piece of art mean? The interpreter is, as always, free to interpret the art from his preferences. For me, it is claustrophobic in the shaft, as you don't know if the elevator that is the floor will not hold. Then there is this thing with the frayed wire that is about to break. I have already made it to the top of the building, and there is a long escape staircase that I am now carefully climbing down. In other words, there is always hope, you just have to be able to see and feel the danger signals. Why was I in the elevator shaft? The old owner has hidden two large, beautiful expensive diamonds in one of the mechanical rooms that hold the wire. But leave the diamonds and money alone, if you know the uneasy feeling. The pigeon was my lucky break. It warned of great danger for me. Money is not more important than life. But it was an exciting journey in Herbitz's old Coffee House, as the good coffee and factory were called, here on the outskirts of Dortmund, Germany. "Auf Wiedersehn", and thanks for the excitement Herr Herbitz!
