The works focus on different aspects of the museum and gallery experience, with the individual photographers providing diverse interpretations of the photographed museum scenes. Louise Lawler, for example, uses the camera to show incomplete crops of both exhibits and spaces, while Karl Grimes’ or Hiroshi Sugimoto’s reproductions of dioramas, exclude all signs of a museum background in favour of a detailed image, making the exhibit appear more realistic than it might have seemed in the museum setting. Vid Ingelevics’ pictures provide an alternative point of view, often turning away from the museum galleries and into adjoining rooms. Matt Stuart and Traer Scott use the camera to preserve often humorous visual relationships between visitors and exhibits. Mark Dion’s series Ursus Maritimus [II] is a new collection of images of stuffed polar bears that he has encountered in different international museums, while finally, Karen Knorr and Valery Katsuba construct and photograph specific set-ups in exhibition spaces.

Originally designed in 1800 as architect Sir John Soane’s country villa, the Grade I listed Pitzhanger Manor-House was later joined by an extension which now houses the PM Gallery. For Wundercamera, Pitzhanger Manor is housing Museum Clausum’s ''Now and Then'' series of photographs as well as a video piece named Soane Time, taken at Sir John Soane's Museum at 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, where Soane lived until his death. In keeping in harmony with the idea of presenting images of curated exhibition spaces, Museum Clausum’s collection of black and white and colour photographs of Soane’s central London residence now brings his eclectic collection of art and antiquities back ‘home’ so to speak.
