Curated by author and art critic Veronica Stigger, the selected pieces -280 works belonging to MAM's collection- and where hysteria can be a form of artistic expression, praising insanity, illustrating "untamable and metamorphosed bodies" that manifest themselves through losing control, hysteria, and impulsivity. Works include different media such as photograph, painting, video, print, drawing, sculpture, and performance by over 120 different artists. The exhibition was divided in three different concepts extracted from author Clarice Lispector's work, which function as conducting threads that separate the works in these cores: Grito ancestral [Ancestral Cry], Montagem humana [Human Setup], and Vida primária [Primal Life].
