The bold shift beyond the norm, the openness to other perspectives and the independence of the eccentric can be witnessed in the exhibition’s five different sections. The first room, entitled CREATURES, shows the diversity of individual beings whose ambivalent charisma appears fragile and vulnerable but who confidently assert themselves within their own sphere of influence. EXALTED COSMOS is about space and the aesthetic standards that eccentric artistic personalities create for themselves, whereas TRANSFORMATIVE TECHNOLOGY focuses on the creative use of technology and materials that transgress borders. HYBRID BEAUTY and FLUID BODIES render visible the extraordinary concept of beauty as well as the changeability and self-image of the physical. The ECCENTRIC DESIGN LOUNGE is a place of reflection for visitors to relax on especially selected furniture in keeping with this theme.
