ANIMATED DOCUMENTARY | 7′

What exactly is intoxication? Why do we strive for ecstatic feelings and what is it that fascinates us so much? The exhibition «Rausch – Extase – Rush» explores the phenomenon of intoxication and its effects. On a multimedia journey, the visitors encounter historical backgrounds as well as the possibilities and risks of intoxication. The big question is why our society deals with this phenomenon in such a contradictory way. The animated short film DAS TIER IN MIR sheds light on the evolutionary aspects of intoxication.
