Find WONDERLAND OR tHE The Cheshire Cat IS BACK
ARRIVING AT THE MUSEUM-TOWER BELOW SEA-LEVEL, BY METRO OR BY THE ENTRANCE RAMP
FROM THE PIER, THE VISITOR IS CONFRONTED WITH THE PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY
EXHIBITIONS THAT DOCUMENT THE PORTRAITS OF IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR FATES.
THE VISITOR HIMSELF TURNS INTO A KIND OF IMMIGRANT BY ARRIVING UNDER THE TOWER
AND FINDING HIMSELF IN AN UNKNOWN ENVIRONMENT. he THERBY TURNS INTO HIS OWN
SHADOW, JUST LIKE THE GRINSING CAT IN "ALICE IN WONDERLAND".
THE SEQUENCE OF AREAS THAT RAISES DESIRE AND EXPECTATIONS INSPIRE A PERMANENT
PERSPECTIVE-SHIFT. THE TOWER OF INFINITE POSSIBILITIES, AS A LANDMARK WITH ITS
POSITIVE (TOWER) AND NEGATIVE (BUILT SHADOW) POSES ITSELF AS AN INTERFACE
BETWEEN THE OVER -AND UNDERGROUND, CULTURES AND SOCIETIES.
find wonderland in the mirror and beyond yourself - desire and identity
