If the ground floor with its machines and pipes represent the organs and circulatory system of the body, then this floor represents the mind and the soul: the control room of ‘Disco Inferno’.

On show is the latest work from Atelier Van Lieshout: a psychiatric examination room with a specially designed sofa and other surreal-looking furniture. Here Joep van Lieshout, creator of the ‘Disco Inferno’ and instigator of all this machine violence, is endlessly and exhaustively interrogated by psychoanalysts, clinical psychologists and shamans to ultimately find out what the work is about.

Cranium (2023) was part of the following exhibition(s):
Disco Inferno, BRUTUS, Rotterdam (NL), 2023 – 2024
