KOLLECTION KITSCH #2

A Sci-firrific Adventure

Kollection Kitsch returned to the #Wunderbar in June 2022 for its second edition. This time, organisers Kyra and Aubane invited visitors for an uncanny experience, a fun contrast with the bright and relaxed vibe of the city in the summer. The new exhibition was a trip filled with awkwardness, horror and creepy pleasures. These were dark, imaginative depictions of ultra cultish and sometimes gruesome futuristic worlds. Local emerging video artists and movie makers also screened their work on the retro futuristic TV sculpture of Wunderbar. 

The official opening on the 11th of June included a special effects make-up workshop and live music.
