"PILLish: Harsh Realities and Gorgeous Destinations" explored the dichotomy of drug culture, its enchantments and pitfalls. The exhibition looked at all forms of substances from pills to alcohol, legal to illegal, while considering that they are a mirror into our evolutionary track- biologically, psychologically and culturally. The psycho-sexual appeal of substances as immediate or long-term escape from reality, as well as the consequences of such impulses and patterns, was part of the platform of experience that the exhibit put forth.
