“FOR RABBITS ONLY”

The exhibition is, of course, for rabbits — but at the same time, it is part of a larger picture that deals with ideas and the conditions of life!

Ideas and ideologies, like nature and human beings, are always beautiful — theoretically speaking! — and in practice, it’s about what one does with them!

To what extent do the concepts of nature and the human world share “ideas” and “goals”? One can, for instance, experience this by attempting to penetrate other worlds instead of merely trudging through everyday life!

The fundamental issue concerns the relationship between what we broadly call “naturalness” and the very concept of nature”.

Here it becomes meaningful only to the extent that we can place ourselves, as human beings, within a larger universal context, and thus use the exhibition properly and consciously!

Perhaps that may seem difficult — but it’s certainly not a bad joke!

Rabbits can do it!!!
