Hotel Happiness

Hotel Happiness is a navigable and interactive fictional hotel inhabited by artworks and commissioned writings. From an Executive Penthouse to a Honeymoon Love Suite and a Back to Nature Retreat, viewers can visit five themed rooms from different worlds. Drawing from the current importance of access to the online world, the exhibition echoes the way the internet flattens everything to exist in one space. Taking advantage of the incongruous existence of hotels under the current situation, the virtual show considers how tourism reifies ideas of place, retreats and travel and the construction of subjectivities through objects, images and spaces. Whilst visiting the hotel viewers will encounter the works of 22 artists in various mediums such as video, painting, photograph, sculpture and fictional writings, including a tour in the form of an audio guide.
