Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / Künstlerbeschreibung
German term or phrase: auf Gedeih und Verderben
Künstlerbeschreibung Vaccari:

Alpträume entstehen, so daß man das Geständnis auf der Lippe spürt: »Hätte ich doch mehr Distanz, um Sicherheit zu gewinnen!« Aber nein. Hier wird man auf Gedeih und Verderben hineingezogen und kann nicht entrinnen.

DANKE

senza scampo / ineluttabilmente
Explanation:
fra le varie sfumature dell'espressione "auf Gedeih und Verderb":

bedingungslos, rückhaltlos, um jeden Preis, ganz und gar, unter allen Umständen, wohl oder übel, im Guten wie im Bösen, in guten wie in schlechten Tagen, in guten wie in schlechten Zeiten

qui mi pare di capire che s'intenda "bedingungslos, rückhaltlos, ganz und gar", ovvero che si viene "ineluttabilmente risucchiati", tanto più che segue "man kann nicht entrinnen", ovvero "non c'è scampo/non c'è modo di sottrarsi"

agree  Andreas Gerold: A me sembra di contenere il senso "ondeggiare tra la buona e la cattiva sorte" del originale
