Mike Nelson's first solo exhibition in an Italian art  institution transformed OGR-Torino into another place with a large-scale installation that boldly occupied the whole Nave of Binario 1. The exhibition catalogue is not just a guide to understanding the exhibition but its following step: a further visit to the installation, an immersive personal experience, in a game of cross-references with the themes of the exhibition.

Conceived as a notepad, the catalogue provides a series of heterogeneous materials, offering the reader suggestions and references to trigger possible readings of the installation The documenting of the various stages of the setting up is complemented with a rich selection of texts that provide possible keys to interpret his work. Ranging from science fiction to writings by various artists, the agglomeration of texts and iconographic references builds up, imitating the layers of meaning and materials that characterise Nelson's work.
