What would it have looked like, Leibniz's Warehouse? What kinds of
objects would the polymath have stored in a chamber of curiosities
of his own? The artists Renate Heyne and Floris Neususs play with
the idea of what might have happened, had Leibniz been able to
realize his dream of a collection of objects and artifacts, and had
begun to archive everything in a warehouse. Leibniz's Warehouse,
however, is not simply a collection of manifest objects. The
artists have created a kind of "theater of nature and art" in the
form of photograms, as they journeyed through the collections of
fifteen different museums, photographing their exhibits from
nature, antiquity, science, and art. Photograms are the result of a
direct photocopying process in which images appear when
photosensitive material is directly exposed to light. Animals,
sculptures, or plants look like positive shadows in this catalogue,
inviting readers to tour the history of collections in Western
European museums. With photograms of exhibits from the following
museums: Glyptothek, MunichBavarian National Museum, MunichMuseum
