Splendide Hotel (annexe) is based on Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster’s 2014 exhibition at the Palacio de Cristal in Madrid. Taking the date of construction of the Palacio de Cristal as point of departure, Gonzalez-Foerster created a complex, intuitive web of literary, cultural, musical, and historical associations around books, objects, discoveries and their authors and readers, around the year 1887 — the year is peopled with birthdays, publishing dates and moments of scientific discovery.
