The exhibition brings together sets of artworks which (originally) formed a whole, like twins separated after birth being brought back together after some time. These twin works or 'doubles' are parts of the same work or closely related works by the same artist, or sometimes they are works by different artists that share conceptual meaning or topics. The works come from different collections, revealing corresponding choices in their composition and reversing the circle of production, distribution and collection.

The exhibition is structured as a journey of discovery in which visitors can link the twin works together, similar to the Memory game, yet slightly different. It represents several principles of the history of a comprehensive, 'encyclopedic' collection. It can be understood as a microcosm of the macrocosm, in which there are various references to the world in which we live, our actions in it, but also far beyond it, by reading the position of the sun, moon and stars. Routes of kinship are explored between concealment and publicity, reality and myth, day and night, Orient and Occident, and North and South.

The imaginary collection is formed by the convergence of selected artworks from various international private art collections and constitutes the starting point for its programme, which is created in collaboration with various partner institutions. In this way, Tlön Projects generates access to artworks which otherwise would have been largely shielded from public access.
