wunderkammer principle
A wunderkammer is a chamber of curiosities, a cabinet for the fantastic and a container of the mysterious, marvelous and magnificent. It is like a coat with many pockets or a locket inside a locket inside a locket inside a many-layered cake. It opens where it closes and closes where it opens. It can be circular, beginning and ending simultaneously and always, even when there is a front door.
The Wunderkammer Principle celebrates curiosity, surprise, juxtaposition, provocation and discovery. It is an ethos of becoming, arriving, traveling, departing; of absorption, exploration, stimulation, contemplation; of stepping from one thing to the next in a cumulative process of acquisition and relinquishing. It is a space of opportunity and expression, containment and freedom, desire and determination, rest and activity.
This guiding principle governs IFCAP with great joy and prowess.
