The catalogue is being published on occasion of the exhibition DUSTribute (March - May 2022) by
the Polish artist Robert Kusmirowski (born in 1973 in Lódz Poland) with a new comprehensive
interview by Thomas Häusle and a text by Sina Wagner. For Kunstraum Dornbirn Kusmirowski
created a new temporary and site-specific environment. Visually and atmospherically his work
was based on the film classic Stalker (1979) by Soviet director Andrei Tarkowsky. In the former
assembly hall the artist developed a post-apocalyptic scenery that completely transformed the
space. Visitors found themselves in a world whose appearance resembled a fictional journey
through time. Historical cinematic and narrative reference systems interweave to form a story
of existential peril and eerie beauty.
