'Casa Diógenes', International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP), New York City, 2011. Narrative installation: 36 loose photo prints on a table with accompanying sound track (6’ 20’’) in a small room for one or two spectators at the same time. Variable dimensions. llusion’s last chapter begins with the protagonist entering the apartment of his father, who had been found dead in it. He had not spoken to him for years, and he comes to his house only to discover that the old man suffered Diogenes syndrome (extreme hoarding). The apartment is a jumble of found objects, accumulated in an inextricable chaos that fills the rooms from floor to ceiling. While wandering around, he finds a number of objects, texts and images that trigger some stories within the story, such as Dürer’s Rhinoceros (about second-hand knowledge), Novgorod Codex (example of hyper-palimpsest) and Seven Masks (about a process of unveiling layers of a subject till reaching his empty core).

<p>Illusion Buzzword Bingo is the name of a collective game based on an art project in the form of a novel, called <a href="http://ensembles.mhka.be/items/5313">Illusion</a>. Bingo cards are distributed amongst the audience, with the particularity that they do not contain the usual 1-to-90 numbers, but words (a different combination of words in each card). A reader reads a passage of the novel Illusion out loud. Participating public will cross out words in their cards as they appear in the text when uttered during the reading. Like in the original game, there is a prize for the player who calls out &ldquo;bingo&rdquo;; that is, for the one who crosses out all words in their card before anyone else does.<br />Illusion Buzzword Bingo has been played in the following venues:<br />Artium, Museum of Contemporary Art, Vitoria (Spain). 25 April 2012.<br />INexactly THIS. Kunstvlaai: Festival of Independents, Amsterdam. 24 November 2012.<br />The Diagrammatic Practice of the Micropolitical. International Public Symposium. ZHdK, Zurich. 15 November 2013.</p>View
