In her foreword, Iva Juri\u0107<\/strong> emphasizes:
\n\u201eIn the work Help, Where\u2019s the Exit from the Restaurant, Andrej Dro\u017e\u0111an constructs a charged atmosphere of being stuck \u2013 an installation that, through an imaginary restaurant, becomes a place of the impossibility of forgetting, letting go and escaping. The starting point of the work is the scenes evoked by contemporary pop songs, those that depict inner stagnations and moments of breakups, where emotions are trapped in space and time. Inspired by the image of a person left at a restaurant table, both literally and emotionally, Dro\u017e\u0111an explores spaces in which emotions are not processed but persistently accumulated, displaced and revived. This is a place of stagnation, an emotional crossroads, where time stops flowing, and experiences remain served like an unfinished plate. The restaurant, typically a space for shared meals and encounters, is here transformed into a metaphorical interior of inner states, a landscape of nostalgia, loss and quiet discomfort.\u201d<\/p>\n
