Designboom
Until September 1st, 2024, the iconic octagonal halls of the Schinkel Pavillon in Berlin are transformed by a surreal exhibition titled Metempsychosis: The Passion of Pneumatics by artist Ivana Bašić. Exploring the material and metaphysical boundaries of humanity, the show presents 20 new works, including alien-like sculptures, paintings, videos, and a 23-foot-wide animatronic altarpiece. The exhibition takes visitors on an otherworldly journey, contemplating the dissolution of the body and the material world, not as a loss, but as a moment of radical potential.
