What the Hell Was I Thinking | David Shrigley
With his dry-humour drawings, strange installations and sharp observations, British artist David Shrigley (1968) takes a funny but critical look at everyday life and the art world. In What the Hell Was I Thinking?, Shrigley turns that gaze on himself and invites you straight into his head.

Ancient Walls, New Frequencies

Within the monumental space, visitors experience sound and visual elements built from voices and urban soundscapes, blending with the church’s architecture and shifting between moments of silence and dynamic intensity.
