The exhibition draws inspiration from Franz Kafka, reflecting his exploration of identity and transformation in an ever-changing and threatening world. Central to the show are themes of personal, national, sexual, and other forms of identity, examined as unstable constructs that are constantly in flux and transformation, and often questioned by the artists.

Spanning four floors and 1,600 square meters, the exhibition features works by almost 100 artists from primary and secondary market.
