Exhibition. Bitte Widersetzen!

They have always had a dystopian sense; they were just less virulent and less palpable for the Western majority population: a sense of fatalism and resignation that surfaces as a pragmatic adjustment to the ghastly cruelties of life. In his first solo exhibition „Bitte Widersetzen“ (Please resist), Ferdinand Dölberg critiques a more preliminary stage of this kind of fatal mode of living.
