The Smell of a New Car is an exhibition in the true crime genre that presents a camouflage that enticingly invites you to approach the crime scene where nothing happened. „The Scent of a New Car“ consisted of artificial turquoise lighting combined with pink translucent drapes from the side passages, which suspiciously evoked the atmosphere of a morgue or a horror scene. At first g lance, the entire space seemed to consist only of lights. Upon closer inspection of the gallery, visitors might stumble upon a protruding piece of a human thumb, resembling poorly smoothed traces of a human body in the recently poured concrete floor. In the corner of the room, there was also a large curtain (as is customary with every exhibition, behind which tools for children‘s gallery education are usually hidden), but this time, there was an object resembling a human body wrapped in a sailor‘s tarp. The exhibition also extended (or rather began) outside the gallery, which is located in the local cultural center. Just beyond the entrance to the clean gallery ended a long and distinct blood trail that led through the atrium, the entrance to the theater and restaurant, all the way from a nearby parking lot to the square. In the square, in the nearby bushes on the side of the building, a subtle piece of a corpse‘s head protruded, with hair slicked to the side.
