In an era of acceleration and elusiveness, these transient spaces functioned as microcosms in which reality was shown, simulated, staged, imagined, experienced and known. They therefore had a dimension of spectacle to them, as the volume demonstrates. Against this backdrop, the different chapters deal with a plethora of spaces and spatial installations: the wunderkammer, the herbarium, the peep show, the spectacle garden, cosmoramas and panoramas, the dépôt/temporary museum, and the alternative exhibition space.
