LO SIENTO MUCHO – I AM SO SORRY
This is a story inside a story inside a story inside a story. And i am so sorry. You have to read it till the end, to get it all…enjoy! Every story begins with ourselves. Even when we are listening to another telling us their story, we are surrounded by our interpretation of their story. The only thing we can comprehend is our own imagination, our thoughts.

Muarco – the exhibition in the museum in the exhibition
MUARCO is a miniaturized version of a modular exhibition space, which contains hundreds or more art works – depending on the configuration – in the size of 8 per 5 cm (leaflet for decision-makers,PDF).

MUARCO – the exhibition in the museum in the exhibition – addresses…
