In a black-colored exhibition space, there are white shapes shining on an electric paper, showing their genuine image in a black room. They appear only briefly, but brightly; they resemble a lightning as they vanish spontaneously. What remains is but a memory of a form that is being recycled by our brain and reanimated as a personal variant of the original form.

In a "graphical dark room" works reduced to their formal core are being carved into the retinas of the spectators. For a moment, the visitors develop a graphical echo in their minds - just as a photograph is developed in a dark room. That way a truly personal experience is created out of genuinely objective forms.

Dark Room shows us the "beauty of form" that is a key element of all the disciplines of design and is interwoven in a primordial collage as a charming experience of a graphical big bang and its echo.
