The exhibition is conceived as a synesthetic and disorienting experience, in which the boundaries and definitions of the human, of the non-human and the post-human are destabilized: a space where notions of reality and fiction are tickled, overturned and distorted. A composite of performative elements, works of art, music and objects aimed at producing an alienating and enveloping together, a kaleidoscope of signs in which to get lost.
