This was Ernst Koslitsch's debut solo presentation of Yellow Universe, part of Gallery Raum mit Licht's Domino Exhibition Series. Its centrepiece, The First 5000 Years, is a wall filling sculpture built from 38 small, delicate woodcuts, drawing on ancient rock art, cave paintings, stone paintings, and geoglyphs found across different parts of the world. The sculpture was later developed further and shown again as 5000 Years (Version 1) at the same gallery in 2022, curated by Josephine Wagner. Alongside it, the show presented the wall sculpture Bird, the wall piece Holy Stick One, the painting The Golden Age, the wheeled sculpture Tree People Wagon 1, the small painting It is so Holy Mountain, referencing Alejandro Jodorowsky's film The Holy Mountain, the pastel drawing Maze Runner, and the wood sculpture Artefact (reconstruction) 09.
