Healing and Caring

The exhibition Healing and Caring is a newly designed, independent complex of the DASA Arbeitswelt exhibition in Dortmund, focused on the professions of the health care sector in an area of approximately 800 square metres. In the five chapters Examining, Rescuing, Operating, Treating and Caring, all areas of care work are made comprehensible in a largely interactive way.

The exhibition furniture, the intensive lighting and the choice of materials are oriented towards hospital and pharmacy atmospheres. As in treatment situations, semi-transparent gauzes separate the exhibition areas from each other. The differently coloured floor coverings create different zones in the open exhibition area. In the middle of the room, a separate rest area, modelled on a grassy landscape with an auditory natural backdrop, allows visitors to reflect on the theme of "taking a break" and why this is often neglected.
