Visitors will be drawn into the darkly cartoon chaos when they step into the psychedelic landscape, offering an immersive sentiment ‘piece by piece’. According to the Philips’ Head of Private Sales, Miety Haiden’s statement, “ ...The set design is not just the scenery or the background — it is part of the narrative material that will enchant audiences and transport them to an alternate universe. Works will be presented in a new light, environment and context — ‘HYSTERICAL’ is an all-encompassing work of art.”
