Over the years, the Kunsthaus has collected a number of important works by Mario Sala (born 1965). A graphic artist by training, Sala lives and works in Winterthur, and his body of work covers painting, drawing, objects, and sculpture. Some of his art is also publicly accessible.

The exhibition centres on the multi-part work Wild Bunch, purchased in 2023, where Sala superimposes several layers of images: figures that appear familiar at first glance blur like an optical illusion. Mario Sala’s art blends different levels of reality and opens up a dreamlike dimension.
