Galerie des Alephs

Galerie des Alephs, col. Karl Ernst Osthaus Museum, Hagen
Galerie des Alephs was a project made for the Karl Ernst Osthaus Museum in Hagen, Germany, for the exhibition Museutopia, an exhibition which explored the notion of the museum as a utopia. Galerie des Alephs presents a model of a museum of museums in the metaphorical form of an alchemically-connected chandelier.
