"Land Surveyor", topographical land survey in Yunes Residence setting landmarks every 3 meters of its 7000 sqm yard. Rule of alternation in the maintenance of the garden
"Land Surveyor", at the garden, conserved areas are interspersed to areas where there is no weed control, pruning or lawn mowing. A grid is then formed
"Pillage", every rug in the house removed from its original location and piled up at the Old Masters room
On top of the stack lays the rug that already held that position. Furniture and objects are not moved
"Pillage" consists as much in the stack itself as in the absence of rugs elsewhere in the house
"Homochromy", removal of a work in the Collection that hid the access to a service room. Trompe-l'oeil that portrays the same work in 1:1 scale
"Homochromy", trompe-l'oeil over the wall and the door, executed by painters hired by the artist
"Trompe-l'oeil", pair of ocular prosthesis crafted by an ocularist based in the eyes of the mistress of the house, Ivani
"Trompe-l'oeil", the prosthesis were exhibited in a showcase built-in to the wall, at the watercolors' room
"Trompe-l'oeil", ocular prosthesis
"Figuration", an owl trained to remain still on top of a column, among objects that portray birds
"Figuration"
"Figuration"
Double-headed eagle, the imposing wooden piece in Yunes Collection that has lent its name to the show, installed at the room where "Figuration" took place
"Essential Tremor", audio installation based on the rattling of objects sitting on the showcases of the music room
As the visitor passes by the showcases, he listens to the tickling of the objects sitting there. The sound is interrupted once the visitor walks away
"Essential Tremor", ivory showcase
"Essential Tremor", crystal showcase
The pool at Yunes Residence, where the artistic swimming presentation "The Octopus Routine" was performed
"The Octopus Routine", artistic swimming performance based on the figure of an octopus
