The installation draws inspiration from the *Wunderkammer*, or cabinet of curiosities, which emerged in 16th-century Europe. These early collections sparked curiosity and fascination, showcasing diverse materials in a unified context—much like contemporary art exhibitions.

The PASAJ team aims to create a dynamic space where artists can exhibit their works alongside the objects that inspire them, fostering a dialogue between them. *Wunderkammer: Chamber of Echoes* goes beyond mere collection and display; it invites visitors to explore the modern individual’s relationship with knowledge, memory, and emotion, effectively crafting a personal archive.

The installation features nine artists, each presenting a unique narrative through specially designed cabinets and inspirational objects. This collaborative effort transforms the space into an interactive playground, encouraging visitors to engage with the artworks and discover their sources of inspiration. PASAJ emphasizes the importance of dialogue in the artistic process by inviting audience participation, making each visitor an integral part of the experience.

Through this project, PASAJ Collective celebrates artistic expression and highlights the significance of curiosity and exploration in understanding our contemporary world. The installation is conceptualized by Seçil Yaylalı and promises a thought-provoking journey that resonates with both artists and audiences.
