“Evil must stop no matter how good it feels.”
The exhibition Exit Wounds brings Jan Diviš’s independent artistic practice to the forefront, presenting it outside his usual graphic design and commercial context.
It inhabits the space between unravelling failure and the will to transform. It explores moments when we stop turning a blind eye to what is wrong and find the courage to act despite our own comfort and sense of security. He is interested in liberation as a process of letting go, losing and rediscovering. What destroys us cannot be preserved indefinitely simply because it is familiar, close to us or brings us comfort.
Sometimes we must break, sacrifice and let everything we once considered solid and true burn to the ground in order to begin again — even if it means doing so in pain, alone in the void, face to face with the truth.
