To booking

The special exhibition “Horizontal. Politics and Poetics from the Sickbed” places the horizontal body at its centre. Together, we explore how lying down shapes perception, bodily experience, and social relationships—and why the hospital bed is far more than a place of medical treatment. Through historical objects, contemporary artworks, and personal stories, you will discover how ideas of illness, care, and healing have changed over time, and why lying down is anything but a passive state.
