Exhibitions
The same works have behaved very differently in a museum, a cultural salon, a community centre and the European Parliament.
Each presentation has created a different way of encountering Cities of Lost Memory: museum-scale installation, dialogue with archaeological objects, dinners among the drawings, school visits, public debate and concentrated institutional presentations.
Five presentations, five different contexts
Rather than repeat one exhibition format, each venue changed the relation between the drawings, the room and the public.

Open exhibition →The exhibition is part of the work
Cities of Lost Memory changes when its context changes. A museum can create physical interaction with a drawing; a collection can place an image beside an ancient object; a dinner can turn a work into a conversation; a school visit can generate questions that were never part of the original composition.
