I Am Not Here, I Am in Arcadia

Architectural adjustments disrupted the centre line of the exhibition area that used to be a hallway connecting the exhibition rooms located by its sides. The dividing walls raised in the central hallway cost it both its dominance and its purpose, but expanded the Representative Halls of the Nitra Gallery by adding additional rooms. The new architectural layout resembles a labyrinth - the visitor is forced to keep exploring the exhibition area and search for new ways out or deeper inside the exhibition. The labyrinth symbol is also a part of the exhibition concept that refers to ancient philosophy and mythology in many ways. (Curatorial text)
