The exhibition will present, through a diverse selection of both Czech and foreign artworks and in the context of literature, psychology and philosophy, the phenomenon of the doppelganger. The theme of the double has occupied the human mind since ancient times. In Egypt for example, great emphasis was placed on maintaining contact between the deceased individual and the world of the living, either through a faithful portrait of the dead person or a doppelganger of the deceased, a Ka, who remained as his or her representative on earth. In a sense, the story of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own image, is also connected with the doppelganger phenomenon.
