In the same room Soft Blonde Moustache’s installation provides a humorous counterpoint to the exhibition. Visitors are invited to collect a pair of binoculars which leads to their own discoveries in the architectural detailing of the room. Between the iron work on the upper level, paper cut-outs of animals and sea creatures are inserted playfully, waiting to be discovered.
