You are all important to Carsten Höller, so much so because you are part of the exhibition everyone else is looking at. This is the reason why the show changes by the minute, presenting different ways of enjoying the pieces. With High Psycho Tank, the artist offers something you would never have thought you could find in an exhibition.
High Psycho Tank is a flotation tank that will not hide anything while putting all your senses to the test. At first, you can guess the artist has put a number of parts together to build his installation. You can imagine what a person floating inside could be feeling. But the work’s goal is to arouse your curiosity and tap on your adventurous side, inviting you to get into the tank and be a part of it. For High Psycho Tank will not be complete unless a user gets into it.
Take off your clothes to have a bath in water heated to body temperature containing a high concentration of Epsom salts. The ideal temperature and the properties of the salts help increase the magnesium and serotonin levels in your body, which results in a sense of well-being that remains after you get out of the artwork.
If you are brave enough to participate, ask for instructions at the ticket desk.
