This space, inspired by the 16th century Kunst und Wunder kammer or Cabinets of Curiosities, is arranged according to Einstein's equation, which defines the relationship between space - time and the experience one feels entering and looking up at the natural sky and then the artificial created by the curtain of Swarovski crystals, and the works of art that are between the two elements, illustrating the juxtaposition of different cultures and historical periods.
Within this space we seek to explore the affinities of pre-Columbian, African, Nepalese and Himalayan artistic traditions with contemporary art. The ethnographic pieces establish a dialogue with contemporary works, following the line of exhibitions such as Primitivism in the 20th Century Art, at the MoMA museum in New York in 1984 (curated by William Rubin) and Les Magiciens de la Terre (curated by Jean- Hubert Martin at the Pompidou Center and La Villette in Paris, in 1989).

A koteka is a unique fetish accessory made from a dried, hollowed-out gourd. It is worn in Irian Jaya (the Indonesian-administered western part of New Guinea) by men of the Dani, Lani, Mee, 'nggem, Yali, Papua, Walaak (and other) tribes on the phallus which is held upright on a strap. It is often worn alone, but sometimes in combination with feathered headdresses, vine-wrapped chest hoops, beads, feathers, dung and mud headdresses, and nose rings and/or pig bone or tusk ear muffs. There are several types of kotekas because, depending on their use (hunting, dance, mundane situations, etc.), they vary in shape and dimensions. The shape and, above all, the size of the object do not serve as a social marker nor do they support a relationship with the rank of the wearer. The koteka serves as protection against the entry of evil spirits and its shape and size distinguishes some tribes from others. It is also used to store all kinds of things, such as food and even tobacco.

Einstein's Equation, by Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu, cobalt blue neon, 64 x 396 cm.
It is the formula that defines the space-time relationship of the entire room. The theme of the Sokrates room revolves around this installation inspired by Einstein's formula that defines the relationship between space and time. The Sokrates room forces us to rethink the concept of the traditional museum, introducing us to other ways of presenting art and the interrelationship of space and time. Here we find a museum presentation centered on the concept of linear form art that strives to create spatio-temporal links and connections. This is a space where works from very distant places and times coexist with each other, but in a very particular way, generating a dialogue and developing a discourse based on complementarities and totalities. The ethnographic pieces interact with contemporary works following the concept of the exhibition Primitivism in 20th Century Art , produced by MOMA in New York in 1984, curated by William Rubin and the exhibition Les Magiciens de La Terre by Jean-Hubert Martin, at the Center Pompidou and La Villette in Paris in 1989.

Since 2003, his creations have been exhibited at the Antwerp Fashion Museum (MoMu), the Lille Museum of Fine Arts since 2004. He was one of the designers to show his creations at the Contemporary Morocco exhibition at the Arab World Institute in Paris, 2014–2015. The first exhibition in France dedicated entirely to him took place at the Pierre Bergé YSL Foundation in Paris, in 2016, and at the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakesh in 2018.
