X-RAY - Der Röntgenblick in Kunst, Wissenschaft, Film, Mode und Architektur

The discovery of X-rays was a scientific and technological sensation. At the time, it was the most spectacular result of an ongoing quest, pursued around 1900, to uncover that which remains invisible to the human eye. This is an idea that has continued to inspire artists to this day – the belief that individual (or, indeed,supra-individual) identity is only revealed beneath the surface.

On show in the atmospheric Blower Hall, this fascinating exhibition presents a wide variety of X-ray systems, ranging from the Pedoscope shoe fitter to X-ray satellite technology, as well as an exploration of the creative uses of X-rays in art, advertising, fashion and cinema– Catwalk meets X-ray chapel.

X-RAY is the first ever exhibition dedicated to the phenomenon of X-rays and the wide-ranging cultural significance of X-ray vision.

The Saarland Ministry of Economic Affairs is significantly supporting this ambitious exhibition as a cultural flagship project for the Saarland.
