Interactive Installation
Museum of Petach Tikva, Israel
This stall was active for 72 hours as part of the Asonologia Conference at the Petah Tikva Museum. Styled as a drugstore or street kiosk, it offered a curated menu of legal highs — substances and materials known for their mind- or mood-altering effects, both chemically and culturally.
Among the “products” on sale: Bananadine, Khat (Gat), glue, absinthe, muscat notes, GHB, K300, codeine-based cough syrup, Ritalin, laxative tea, sleeping pills, acetone, permanent marker, Tipp-Ex, turpentine, and digital binaural drugs.
The installation blurred the line between pharmacy, ritual, and consumer culture — questioning what we call a “drug,” who gets to define it, and how society chooses to regulate or romanticize altered states.
