On multiple screens, hanging at head hight in a dark room, the visitor sees in smooth transitions portraits of people with disorders as well as healthy people. While most images are photographs once in a while either short videoclip with very subtle movements are pasted in or the screens turn black and simply reflect the face of the visitor. Written statements are shown to stimulate the visitor to think about our current point of view on disorders.
> FAQs presented in a touch-screen based game.
In a library two huge desks are placed. Each desk embedding a touch-screen displaying a book. The visitor can choose from different lists of frequently asked questions or clichés about disorders. Each question has multiple short answers from authorities through different epochs. The visitor could either read more about the author or more details about the answer.
P.S.: The Dolhuys won the Dutch Design Price for Exhibition and experience design, 2005.
