BIRDS OF PARADISE EXHIBITION

For BIRDS OF PARADISE at the MAC Museum Art & Cars, Dylan Eno contributed to the exhibition’s co-curation alongside Ronald van der Kemp and Béatrice Hug, while also shaping its scenographic approach and digital identity. The project positioned couture and hyper-engineering within a shared spatial vocabulary, tracing how material experimentation can move between fashion, art, and industrial design.

​

The exhibition unfolded across five rooms: an overview space, a show gallery, a photography room, a collection gallery, and a process space. Each room designed as a discrete chapter in the broader cosmology of Van der Kemp’s practice. Image and sound were composed per room to build atmospheres that shifted from archival observation to performative display.​

​

Rather than framing couture as static objecthood, the exhibition treated it as an evolving system of gestures, references, and material histories. In this configuration, the encounter between couture and automotive design produced a temporary ecology in which craft, engineering, and imagination shaped a single continuum.
