Small Society for Grottoes and Caves – Part 3 – Continent Of The Unconscious
Grundbuchhalle Hamburg, November 14, 2025 to January 3, 2026

This is the third instalment in an exhibition series of the same name, which explores archetypal places through art. The exhibition features drawings, collages, videos and photographs that focus on the motif of the cave as a metaphor for the hidden, the grotesque and transformation. The exhibition combines contemporary and historical references to this theme with philosophy, art and science.
Curated by Peter Boué and Wolfgang Oelze.

The exhibition is accompanied by lectures, film screenings, and discussions.
