The idea of the exhibition is to show shop design, product placement, marketing psychology as consciously applied strategies to the works of young artists in the form of a beauty shop.
Various mirror surfaces, which can be seen under and around the exhibited works, reflect on the one hand the view of the visitors and on the other hand the different levels of spatial conditions and our understanding of them - as homage to Reiner Werner Fassbinder's film 'Die Welt am Draht'.

The connection of the two strategies aims to shine beyond the obvious superficiality underneath the structures of art representation and the art market - between office and showroom.
