This exhibition is the largest solo exhibition to date of artist and scenographer Miķelis Fišers. Since the 1990s, author has focused on visually analyzing parallel worlds and historical evidence, as well as on sharp myth-making that resonates with social, political, and civilization processes.
"The Dreadful Legacy" is conceptually revealed as a triptych – a journey through three states of reality: the darkest fields of the subconscious, sudden enlightenment, and the reality that shapes everyday life. The exhibition highlights civilization as a system – a historical, social and ideological structure that determines the foundations of society's understanding, equality and existence. Here, the social environment is revealed as a dynamic and contradictory structure in which history, myths, ideologies and everyday reality intertwine.
Miķelis Fišers' art offers a critical and precise view of these processes, encouraging society's reflection on current global challenges and human responsibility in today's world.
