"For me, this aspect, this part of the exhibition is about engagement and embodiment and activating of the senses. So the first place to do that is exactly here in the tea room where your sense of smell is addressed, your sense of taste is addressed, there is a haptic feeling to the table. It is very special. So all of those aspects of the room address the multiple senses."

10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Annika Kuhlmann, curator:

"I think that the entire exhibition was conceptualised as more of a situation than an exhibition. Basically we are merging two formats. We are taking the very traditional format of the exhibition that presents artworks in distinct spaces between white walls, thereby turning an object in to an artwork, and we are now taking that and we are introducing situations in to it. And these situations kind of align, one next to another, together forming an experience. An experience that will be new and unexpected in this kind of space and environment."

12. SOUNDBITE: (German) Thohmas Oberender, Artistic Director Martin Gropius Bau:

"If we were to compare the exhibition to a football game. Then we can say that a football game is pretty much always the same. What makes a difference is there are different players. But the rules are always the same. What the exhibition "World Without Outside" does is that it changes the rules. And some players are the same, but many are entirely new."

"I think about it as a traditional experience. Sorry, traditional exhibition. So, I don't think of it as an experience first, I think of it as well but I am trying to think of an art historical argument saying like, immersion is not something new kind of notion, it is what artists have been busy with since the 60s."

This is an art exhibition like no other.

Instead of oil paintings on a wall there are tunnels illuminated with neon light.

Instead of bronze statues there are entirely white rooms complete with a neon light panel, creating the sense of being in a haze.

And if you sit down on the benches, they will start moving.

The exhibition is called "Welt Ohne Außen" - it can be translated as "A World Without an Outside."

The exhibition - held at the Martin-Gropius Bau museum in the German capital Berlin - shows "Immersive Art" from the 1960's.

The whole idea is to immerse the visitor in a new experience.

One area of performances, experiences and workshops is curated by Isabel Lewis, an Dominican Republic-American artist that currently lives in Berlin.

She has set up one room as a Japanese Teahouse.

Visitors can simply sit down, relax and have different teas served to them by a tea expert.

In the background music is playing, the walls are decorated with Japanese art.

"For me, this aspect, this part of the exhibition is about engagement and embodiment and activation of the senses," says Lewis.

"So the first place to do that is exactly here in the tea room where your sense of smell is adressed, your sense of taste is addressed, there is a haptic feeling to the table. It is very special. So all of those aspects of the room adress the multiple senses."

The exhibition has 12 rooms with art ranging from the early 1960s until today.

Curator Annika Kuhlmann says it can be seen as a maze of experience rather than a traditional exhibition.

"Basically we are merging two formats. We are taking the very traditional format of the exhibition that presents artworks in distinct spaces between white walls, thereby turning an objet in to an artwork, and we are now taking that and we are introducing situations in to it," she says.

"And these situations kind of align next to another, together forming an experience. An experience that will be new and unexpected in this kind of space and environment."

In one room large mirrors and windows have been set up to create a small maze.

The artwork, called "6 x 8: An Improvisation" by American artist Larry Bell, creates an outer-bodily sense.

Artistic director Thohmas Oberender says the exhibition is trying to rewrite the rules of what museum visits are like.

"If we were to compare the exhibition to a football game. Then we can say that a football game is pretty much always the same," he says.

"What makes a difference is that are different players. But the rules are always the same. What the exhibition "World Without Outside" does is that it changes the rules. And some players are the same, but many are entirely new."

While most of the works immerse the visitor in a pleasant feeling the room with the artwork "Light Wall" by Stockholm-based Carsten Hoeller, can create a sense of nausea.

One of the walls has been covered with 1920 lightbulbs that are flashing to the beat of a loud signal.

It is extremely disorienting.

However, curator Tino Sehgal, says the exhibition should just not be seen as an experience, but also as a showcase of immersive art since the 1960s.

"Immersion is not something new kind of notion, it is what artists have been busy with since the 60s," he says.

The exhibition Welt Ohne Außen opens to the public on June 8 and runs through August 5.
