In ‘In-BetweenWorlds,’ spaces open up that are not fixed. Spaces that do not immediately say: This is this. This is that.
They invite you to know later. And to see now.
The series on mental health approaches the invisible. Feelings, tensions, tipping points emerge as colour, condensation and dissolution. The images capture states that often have no language. They show the fluctuation between stability and the abyss, between being overwhelmed and quiet self-empowerment. Not as a diagnosis, but as a space for experience, as an unbiased basis for communication – raw, vulnerable, alive.
‘Tanz’ is movement in transition. Not a fixed body, but a becoming. Lines dissolve, find each other, lose each other again. Control and surrender intertwine. Dance is not a goal, but a moment in between – a breath that takes shape and releases it again.
The ‘Gender-Schnuller’ shifts the intimate into the political. A seemingly harmless object carries questions of imprinting, care and attribution. Who determines what we are before we can speak? Between play and norm, between irony and seriousness, a field of friction emerges in which identity appears not as a template, but as an open process.
In ‘Yggdrasil-Dekonstruktion’ the world tree is not toppled, but rather disentangled. Order disintegrates into fragments, hierarchies lose their self-evidence. Between the branches, space emerges for a different conception of connectedness: love not as the complement of two halves, but as a free, polyphonic network. A love without rank, without centre – circulating, growing, open.
The works move between inside and outside, myth and present, body and idea.
‘In-betweenWorlds’ is not a state.
It is a pause in transition.

Biography
Marco-Dominic Duschl
I am Marco-Dominic. My paintings invite you to linger in the abstract – not to interpret symbols immediately, but to allow associations to arise. What begins on canvas finds its way onto fabric, paper, stickers and into everyday life. Like a map, people should look at my paintings and explore their ways of perception.
Growing up near Munich, I drew comics from an early age. On long bike rides, sketchbook in tow, my passion for painting grew. In Sardinia, Dopoism was born: a philosophy of slowed-down perception. I left my mathematics studies behind, taught myself oil painting, moved to Berlin and have been working as a chef and artist ever since. Since October 2026, I have been devoting myself to the study of digital media culture.
