The exhibition presents the diploma work of the Spiš-born artist Erik Dulík ‒ a graduate of the Department of Fine Art and Intermedia at the Faculty of Arts at Tuke in Košice. The featured work was created under the mentorship of doc. MgA. Svetlana Fialová, ArtD.

Paper sculptures and stalagmites bring the atmosphere of a cave to the installation. Drawing on the allegory of the cave from Plato’s Republic, Dulík “imprisons” the disinformation of the contemporary digital realm, materializing and embedding it within the walls of his cave.

The project has been developed in cooperation with the Faculty of Arts at Tuke and is presented as part of the Graduates cycle of exhibitions; it also represents the grand opening of a new and intimate subterranean exhibition space.
