The new König exhibition "Nothing is as it appears" by Danish artist Jeppe Hein combines the practice of yoga with sculptural art.

With reference to various yoga poses (asanas), the relationship of a work to a pose is sometimes depicted playfully with a wink in the chapel of St. Agnes Church. In other cases, however, the connection is more fundamental and refers to a coherent whole. The exhibition "Nothing is as it appears" refers to the book of the same name, which invites visitors to discover the subtle connection between the practice of Yoga and Hein's art.
