A collection of works heavily inspired by the fantastical imagery of 'The Chronicles of Narnia' by C.S. Lewis was devised by curators of the exhibition Jana Zielinski and Jiri Macek. One has the feeling of entering through a wardrobe into a winter wonderland, feeling a sense of timeless nostalgia and imagination. An architectonical concept was created by Maxim Velcovsky a rising talent in European design. The ambassador for the Sydney exhibition is architect Jiri Pelcl.
