The history, technological development of lavatories, as well as the changes in hygiene is a very interesting topic. Everybody likes dealing with traditions of the past eras. It is exciting to peep inside a sphere often thought of as 'intimate'.

The exhibition presents the development of WCs and toilette papers from the antiquity to nowadays. The visitors can see ornamented pots ladies applied in the court of Renaissance France during long sermons, simple civic privies, and varied requisites of wiping from corn husk to perfumed and creamy paper. We did not forget about clay pots used in the Antiquity or the Japanese 'high-end', sterilizing automatic electronic music lavatories.

Design objects sent in to the fine art application announced in May related to the topic are also part of our showing. Toilettes were provided by the Villeroy & Boch Ltd for the artists and applicants.

The main consideration was uniqueness with respect of formal design and technology highlighting the message of the supporter of the exhibition, the ZEWA.

The arts manager of the exhibition is the fan of 'close' relations. It is obvious that the toilettes are not to be used, but they can be touched, flushed etc.
