The project is the first domestic exhibition showing contemporary artistic thought as a collage, where visual culture, literature, music, cinema, video art, and the philosophy and aesthetics of genetic engineering are encountered in one space.
The technique of collage originated at the beginning of the 20th century as an actual pasting together of diverse materials, whereas in contemporary culture it is becoming not only an element of technique, but also an instrument on thought and itsmethodology. This artistic mode of thought unites both art materials and genres. It is turning into a strategy, and what is more, sees the human body itself as a singular collage with elements of secondary nature, reintegrating it into a whole, to bricolage, as Claude Lévi-Strauss describes this new form.
