The aim of the exhibition is to show how people comprehend one of the elements of objective reality, in this case chameleons, and how we connect the characteristics of animals and man. We would also like to show how this relationship is formulated among the men of nature who live in direct relationship with animals and how people who only have indirect information of animals associate with the them. The exhibition presents this relation through objective and subjective questions at three equal units. We show how the chameleon according to varied knowledge and other approaches such as media and art are presented.

Why the chameleon? Because chameleons are exotic animals and by examining them we may take a peep into the world of people living outside of Europe. Different types of chameleons live in different continents. Since most of them live in Africa, we focus on those.

According to their characteristics (change of color, slow motion, moving the eye), chameleons are connected to opposite notions such as good and bad, immortality and mortality, human and divine. Their being suggest uncertainty, fear, in some cases shiver. Other times it is just the opposite; we may feel security and chameleons may suggest positive precognition.

The people of Africa usually focus on the chameleon's characteristic of changing its color. In the myth of origin of these people chameleons are the messengers of immortality and bear the sign of the most significant power. God's about-face and changeability is associated to this characteristic of the animal.

The Sneufo people of Ivory Coast take chameleons, one of the first five animals that lived on Earth before the existence of firm ground, for hesitant, slow animals.

Chameleons are also well known at areas where they do not really live. They inspired many European and North-American artists. Their unique characteristics predestined them to appear as symbols or logos in the world in informatics. The third part of the exhibition mainly deals with these characteristics of the animal.
