More about the artwork:

Henry Darger: The Revealed Room presents an immersive reconstruction inspired by the artist’s apartment and studio in Chicago, where he lived and worked for over forty years. Through drawings, collages, writings, and collected materials, the installation offers a glimpse into Darger’s vast imaginary world and creative process, revealing how everyday objects fueled one of the most singular bodies of work in outsider art.
