The exhibition approaches the questions and issues associated with hospitality not within an axis of tradition and ownership or in the context of hierarchy, but instead through an unconditional acceptance for the uninvited and unexpected, taking into account all the risks and acknowledging the traces they will leave; the exhibition evaluates the approach of allowing contact with the unknown as the sole method of coexistence.
