“Iris van Herpen: Carving the Senses” focuses on nine themes. It opens with the theme of water and the origins of water. The skeleton theme follows, where the Skeleton dress recalls Japanese artist Heishiro Ishino’s hybrid skeleton work, a Gothic cathedral metaphor. Visitors continue and enter the sensory world created through photographs by Tim Walker and a sculpture by Matthew Harrison.
