If you look closely, there is a house here. Or a model for a house. This was Ishigami's exhibition at the Venice Biennale. It was one of the first exhibitions I saw, and I had already heard the rumor; that a cat had run through all the big rooms of the Arsenale on the night before the opening, and had caused this architecture of air to collapse even before it had been displayed, and thus making it a myth, causing it to materialize itself more in words than in actual shapes. Miniaturisation and the domestication of nature, as well as utopian visions on the border of speculation, are some of Ishigami's experimental practices. The installation pushes boundaries of materiality and visibility. We spend a long time looking for what we were looking at, which in itself was a really interesting way of perceiving.
