The whole is suspended from a grill and lit by a warm, subdued and theatrical light. Sound extracts that are broadcast from time to time complete the staging. This ‘luxuriant shore’ carries Darwin's spirit and imagination. It provides the visitor with a framework from the entrance queue without being an accessible space. This ‘nature’ can be seen behind curved vertical walls made of stretched black tulle. The visitor moves through a space that seems to have been ‘hollowed out’ in this complex and inaccessible ‘natural’ density. The visit is like a river that one descends while observing the shores. As the visitor moves through the exhibition, they reach cavities dug out of the ‘lush shoreline’. These are immersive and isolated spaces, containing projections and cabinets of curiosities.
