During the opening of ICON, an exhibition curated by Christian Falsnaes, comprised of works by male artists from the collection of Kunstmuseen Krefeld, the visitors suddenly start to destroy the exhibited artworks. They perform a radical gesture in the Museum, only to become an artwork themselves, in the form of a video piece directed by Falsnaes.

Produced in collaboration with Kunstmuseen Krefeld
