BERLIN.- As of November 5th, the Nationalgalerie at the Hamburger Bahnhof presents a unique project by Carsten Höller: SOMA. In search of Soma the artist creates a three dimensional, living picture. His protagonists are unusual museum guests: reindeers and canary birds, mice and flies. On the quest for another world, Carsten Höller follows the origin of Soma, a mythical libation of the Indo-Germanic Vedas from the 2nd millennium BC, with his installation at the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart. Soma helped to gain enlightenment and access to the divine sphere, to bring fortune and victory. The passed on descriptions suggest, that a plant delivered the core ingredient, its identity is still unknown. From a botanic, ethnologic and etymologic point of view it could have been the fly agarics.
