In an age of constant accessibility, constant stimulation, and constant digital connection, the moment of pause takes on a new quality. "Flight Mode" is an invitation to consciously enter this pause-not as a retreat, but as an opportunity to see differently, to think differently, to feel differently.

The exhibition brings together three artistic positions, each of which in its own way creates spaces of disconnection - places where perception slows down and the everyday turns poetic. Nico Sawatzki, Dorothee Liebscher, and Philipp Liehr create works that invite us to leave familiar perspectives behind and immerse ourselves in intermediate worlds: landscapes of memory, architectural daydreams, melancholic-heroic sculptures.

In his paintings, Nico Sawatzki opens up landscapes of floating ambivalence - between memory and imagination, between urban origin and atmospheric rapture. Sawatzki's works contain a lyrical pictorial language that creates spaces for contemplation with delicate pastel tones and a reduced color palette. His works - part of important collections such as the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlung and exhibited internationally - blur the boundaries between the inside and the outside, the seen and the felt.

In her internationally exhibited paintings, Dorothee Liebscher creates imaginary architectures that seem like forgotten places of a possible future. They are silent scenarios, abandoned, partly reclaimed by nature - spaces at a standstill, oscillating between nostalgia and utopian emptiness. Her pictorial worlds resemble visual trains of thought in which time seems to have stopped. With a keen sense of light, surface, and structure, Liebscher opens up spaces of possibility in which the viewer becomes a wanderer.

With his finely crafted wooden sculptures, Philipp Liehr brings a narrative physicality to the exhibition. His figures - astronauts, superheroes, everyday people - are projections of modern longing: for the dissolution of boundaries, for meaning, for a brief escape from the gravity of the ordinary. With technical precision and subversive humor, Liehr transforms archetypal figures into fragile symbols of our time. His works, which have been shown internationally, tell quiet stories - of loneliness, courage, vulnerability - while maintaining an almost tender comedy.

"Flight Mode" is not escapism, but a curatorial gesture of consciously shifting gears: a plea for concentration, for new perspectives, for the unexpected in the familiar.
