Both Čerevka and Kiss have worked in their earlier works and exhibitions with the cultural references of excavations and with the hybridisation of archaic and futuristic symbols, in the frame of this exhibition they strengthen this aspect of their art together. The artist in their shared post-apocalyptic artistic universe defined aesthetically by muddy clay and rusty metal structures raise critical questions about our reality, in which we feel radically less and less safe, and the present military conflicts not only redefine our notion of safety often tied to „the home”, but they literally destroy the homes of millions of people. This general experience of ours strengthens the understanding of the exhibition of the two artists as an archeological site of our present, which is defined by common functional objects associated with home and safety, like mattresses, and blankets.

Both Radovan Čerevka and Adrian Kiss employ an artistic strategy in their exhibition with which they reappropriate found objects, thus highlighting on their fetish-like symbolic character, which otherwise is covered and hidden in their common, everyday context. The sensual and conceptual poetics of the two artists who represent two different generations of Eastern European art inspire and meet each other along the toolkit of transient, ephemeral and performative reappropriation applied in the space of the former Synagogue.
