McGinley has come up with a new interpretation of The

Palais de Tokyo and at le Point Perché, during which their sensory
perception, relieved of sight, will increase tenfold.

the reality of our world, and I find that here, The Absolut Company has really played its part of patron by allowing a
complex installation to exist for as many people as people."
