This is the third part of the exhibition series of the same name, dedicated to the artistic exploration of archetypal places. Drawings, collages, videos and photographs examine the motif of the cave as a metaphor for the hidden, the grotesque and transformation. The presentation links contemporary and historical perspectives on the theme with philosophy, art and science. Lectures, film screenings and discussions accompany the exhibition.
