Throughout history, tables have functioned as narrative devices, becoming a powerful communicational emblem where the public and the private, the domestic and the territorial, can coexist. While a black table is being built in Uruguay (a monument in recognition of national history and Uruguayan democracy), in Venice we find a white table (a generous device proposed as a table-screen, a field for practicing “near” futures). This table invites us to take a seat and participate in ten human conversations, in a year in which “proximity” has entered into crisis. The exhibition proposes a set of looks that, as audiovisual essays, combine fiction and concrete proposals in their execution and staging, thus forming a hypothetical atlas of spaces.
