In the center of their joint project ‘Chamber of Mirrors,’ Macel Bühler and Cornelia Renz examine two persons, Kenneth Anger and Aby Warburg, who have deliberately put themselves in a borderland between reality, dream, and psychosis in order to gain new insights into the world they were living in. Bühler and Renz plan a working process of constant exchange and reflection of each other’s artistic positions as a basis for a joint exhibition.
