The installation combines associative assemblages with small talking sculptures to propose a comparative iconography framework which is comprehensible not only to specialists and, as such, becomes a prototype of an interactive scholarly tool. Looking, speaking, hearing, touching and feeling are presented as our basic foundation for understanding the world. The installation shows not so much a holistic image of the world, as rather the layered heterogeneity and diversity of its representations in their historical development.
