An octopus is sitting by the window looking at the city, not the sea.
Why?
Is Octopus another viewer or just an exhibit? (Look carefully before answering this question.)

What would art galleries be like if they were to accommodate animals as viewers?
This is the type of questions you will ask yourself while admiring Carsten Höller’s Octopus. Höller believes animals provide evidence for the existence of realities other than man’s. Starting with this idea and using art as his instrument, the artist attains his primary goal:
To make us re-imagine reality.
