When Erró began, in 1977, to make the series of works called One Thousand and One Nights, his idea was to put together 1001 visual works that he would then publish in a book.

Each work was to be accompanied by a text by a writer. The project changed and the exhibition now shows paintings, collages and graphic works belonging to related series: One Thousand and One Nights (1977-1981), One Thousand and Three Nights (1982) and One Thousand and Three Nights (1984-1985), as well as the series Fractured Fairytales (1989-92).
