Description of the space

The exhibition is in the Black Hall of CAMP. The entrance is opposite the café, on the right-hand side. If the hall is too dark, let us know and we will adjust the lighting. There is a ramp with a 14-degree slope leading to the hall. If it seems too steep, don’t hesitate to let us know. We will be happy to help you.

On the left side of the hall is a wide-screen projection. We are showing the film DEVADE. The film is composed of archival footage. The film features music and voice commentary in selected passages. If the sound is not turned on (e.g., due to another event), you can use headphones.

The film is followed by a sequence of photographs of ten buildings, which can also be found in the large niche and in the DEVADE book.

Opposite the projection is a large niche (recess). In it you will find:

  • a timeline from 1989–2004
  • the timeline is divided into three categories: buildings, architectural events, historical events

If the text is difficult to read or the images are unclear, we will be happy to describe the guide to you.
