Loser´s Paradise
by MARKO MÄETAMM
Palazzo Malipiero, S. Marco 3079, Veneetsia
10.06.–21.11.2007 

The project Marko Mäetamm presents at the Estonian pavilion has the title of Loser’s Paradise. A title that again simultaneously tells it all while quickly camouflaging the actions and covering his traces. It is a project that can alternatively be filed under a) Collection of Modern Miseries, b) I Told You So, c) A Good Idea, and d) When is Supper, Honey? It is a project, which constantly and with amazing coherence plays with the double act of telling and showing it all and not telling and showing anything at all. The point being: this is a body of work that you can’t explain away or solve. It stays there to haunt you, to bug you with more and more questions about was it really like that, or was it again just another lie?
