The Historical Corridor of the Ferdinandeum has been transformed into a tense place of the present. Red cubes penetrate the room to guide the visitors to a wall on which their own movement is depicted like a chain rising upwards. The red strips and the drawing give the hallway an urban character.
With her intervention, Anemona Crisan takes up the motif of a tour of the museum. It combines the tour of the green Dutch gallery with the Baroque collection by addressing the visitor's movement through historical times in the present space. This leads one to think about the role of the museum: can history better understand the present?
