Cassandra’s Escape by Joanne Grüne-Yanoff

Galleri Duerr are thrilled to present Joanne Grüne-Yanoff’s second exhibition with the gallery. In Cassandra’s Escape, visitors are invited into a hidden room where a towering sculpture stretches from earth to sky. The air shimmers with sound—bird wings, heartbeats, whispers, and the song of nightingales. Along the room’s edges, glass flasks line the walls, each containing wax, feathers, wings, twigs, threads, and texts—small vessels of memory and imagination, rooted in both earth and sky. Above them, the walls come alive with images of transformation: hands entangled with threads and wings, texts woven with stories, shifting Cassandras poised for flight. Together, these elements form a sanctuary of reflection, revealing Cassandra’s journey through contemplation, flight, and fleeting escape.
