the entire building. The Body Series and the Animal Series are distributed across several exhibition rooms, where works found in each room seem to create yet another scenario and story. The End is a set of work that is repeatedly found in various rooms as one journeys through the exhibition - as if it is insistent upon reminding the viewer of his/her position as a viewer. Taken as a whole, there is a clear narrative link which weaves the entire exhibition. Nonetheless, when in each individual room, the subtle relationship between those works present could again spring into mind - sometimes they form an allegorical picture, sometimes a psychological scene. The viewing journey comes to an end at the largest hall in the establishment on the second floor, where acrobat and animal sculptures resembles a stage-show frozen in time. Set in this fantastical context, Mortals - Endless Tower echoes the start of the exhibition and somehow feels as if it could stack up indefinitely and keep on getting taller, bursting through the ceiling and the roof.
