The travelling exhibition "Giants of Patagonia" visited Rijeka, Croatia from July 2016 to July 2017. The exhibition was set up in an old wood warehouse. The main design idea of the setup was the contrast between the old and the new. Replicas of the dinosaur bones were opposed to the industrial space architecture. The selected materials were used to further emphasize the difference between prehistoric and industrial. Black fabric was used as a partition in the space, while the stacks were made of industrial pallets as a metaphorical reminder on the former purpose of space. White dinosaur bones were used as a canvas for coloured lightning.
