The works on display at the gallery—including one piece in which a face-mounted camera is embedded in a chest of drawers—were all in the style of a work of art, with the exception of a few pieces that were just art. The only exception was a small piece, in the form of a photograph, that stuck out like a sore thumb, in the hallway that led to the gallerys back room. In it, the artist was seen holding a camera, which is, in turn, covered in black velvet, as if to remind the viewer that, like the artist, the wardrobe is a mask. A few feet away, a stuffed bird, the eponymous kittig, stood out as a cipher for the artifice of the exhibition. The bird, which has been a symbol of love and longing for years, had been sent as an apology to the audience for the people who might have been too sensitive to the work. In the gallery, the bird had been a sign of love, but also a sign of the people who might have been offended. This was the kind of ambiguity that made the work all the more compelling. The velvet-covered chest was an ironic reminder that, in the end, art is more than just a means of demonstrating its meaning to a specific audience, even if that audience is the one who appropriates its meaning for itself. This is the art of a revolution, after all.

The exhibition was divided into two parts, one at the Museum Ludwig and the other in a separate space. The former contained some works from the exhibition, such as an installation of a video projection, a wall text, and a wall text. The second part was made up of digital photographs from the exhibition. The photographs were accompanied by texts and drawings, in a series of screen grabs that addressed the relationships between people and their environment. The images were juxtaposed with a text that read, WE ARE ALL IN THIS WORLD, and a drawing that portrayed a flower. These images were presented in a room that was entirely white, and that was covered with photographs of flowers. The photographs were superimposed on the drawings, which were projected on the walls. The room was dominated by a series of black-and-white drawings of flowers, which were accompanied by a video. The video projected on the wall depicted the blossoms from a distance, then became more visible as one moved around the room. The video showed the flowers from the perspective of the viewer. The white-on-white overlay created a relationship between the viewers perspective and the blossoms that was both poetic and artificial. The video that was projected on the wall was the final work in the exhibition. The video showed a flower, in a flower shop, doing a sort of flower-in-a-store-window thing, and the video projected on the wall played a recording of a flower in the shop. The video showed that the shop was actually a fake flower shop, a fake flower shop. The video projected on the wall was the final work in the exhibition.

I wondered how she would react if I asked her about her favorite animal. How would she respond to an image of a giraffe? How would she respond to a photo of a woman with a large animal in her hand? She would probably say, I dont really know. But thats not to say that she wouldnt be fascinated with the topic. She did have a great sense of humor, and her most recent works show her to be a genuinely curious, playful person.I like how she treats the body as a space to be explored and understood, she said in an interview with author Michael Lutz. It is not just the body that I like, but the way it interacts with itself and with other spaces. She also feels that the body is a kind of territory, a territory of passage, a place to negotiate. The same might be said for the Internet: The domain of the body is a territory of passage, a place where we can negotiate the use of power and control. She does not mean that we should be passive observers; rather, she suggests that we all need to take responsibility for our own behavior.

The show is packed with information, and this is not a catalogue. The curators have created a persuasive case for the value of artistic expression and the importance of listening to others. The show was well-attended and well-thought-out, and the artists and artworks who contributed to it—from some of the best in the world to many of the least—were well-known and thus instantly familiar to the public. And yet, as with all good art, this exhibition is a long way from the moment when it was conceived.The exhibition was divided into four parts, with a group of works that interact with each other and with the viewer. The first section is devoted to the work of artists who have been active in the realm of art since the late 90s. From Karel Malichs infamous pictures of naked men to Chris Burdens dirty pictures of street people to Mike Kelleys post-internet photographs of his own show in a public place. The works that are included in this section are usually the most successful in the show. In fact, they are often the most diverting. Kelleys photographs are a little too grim, too serious, and too often also a little too sarcastic to be convincing; they dont really work. Meanwhile, Malichs work is more interesting, if for no other reason than for its lack of a clear narrative and narrative, and for its inclusion of a lot of people who arent really participating in the exhibition. In the end, the curators took a risk by including only one group of works—an attempt to bring together artists who have been in contact with each other for a long time—and it didnt succeed. It also doesnt seem likely that Kelleys and Malichs work will ever be integrated into the show.The next section, on art from the past few years, is interesting in several different ways.

In the video El muro del monstruo (The Monster of My World), 2016, a black-clad man in a mask and a denim jacket looks at us from behind a large black curtain, as if we were spectators to a film in which the characters are talking about how they feel and how they live in the city. The action is framed by the black curtain, which is covered by a layer of auburn and black paint, which gives the figure a rough, almost raw look. The curtain is also covered in a shawl, a traditional garment worn in many parts of the world, and the shawl seems to be the symbol of the body in these parts of the world. The man in the mask looks like a terrorist, a terrorist sympathizer. The shawl is a symbol of a long-standing tradition in the Muslim world of covering up the face, a tradition that was especially present in Algeria during the French occupation. The black-masked figure, in turn, looks like a victim, a person who has suffered enough and who has lost all the battles that the terrorists have won. This is the message of the video, as conveyed by the masked man. In the video, the masked man looks at us, as if he were an apparition. And this apparition is the artist, the person who is responsible for this situation. He is the one who, in a sense, creates it.The exhibition concluded with a group of works on paper. These works, among them Tirole di una giacragia (Tears of a Hair), 2015–16, convey a desire to express the imperfections of human existence, which are reflected in the personal imperfections of art. In one work, an amorphous black blob appears to be floating on a white ground.
