A magic world of whales, insects and other creatures is spread out on the walls.

For the first time the part of Mother Earth emerging into the gallery is taken in use as an art prop.

A circular labyrinth made of broken glass and tiny fragments of a meteorite, face the painting that as the title proclaims, contains paintings of hermaphrodites in quite provocative poses.
