Dabernig’s slides of the massive prefabricated housing complex in Bratislava serve as the prelude to a program featuring several key works. In the journey of remembrance *Rosa coeli* and the gambling study *Herna*, Dabernig’s crisp images offer a delightful contrast to Bruno Pellandini’s elaborate texts. In *Hotel Roccalba*, the extended family gathers to coexist side-by-side (rather than truly together), while in *excursus on fitness*, some of them celebrate self-optimization under supervision. *Hypercrisis* follows a crisis-stricken writer in a historic Armenian sanatorium (prior to its renovation): a grand architectural study framed as a small-scale comedy about creative block.
