Random Institute creates exhibition seen by twenty Philippine sailors, buries libraries in the desert of Iceland or throws sentences out of airplanes. You think art should be like a never-ending one-night stand? You think if we focus from time to time on the absence of art, we discover something new that is just as beautiful? Anyone asking themselves such questions, has already entered Random Institute's training ground.

Alejandro Cesarco, whose work often explores the relationship between words and images, took part in Don't Talk to Strangers by publishing a booklet that retraces a dialogue he held with the collector Christoph Schifferli. The two exchanged stories (contributed by Cesarco) and images (taken from Schifferli’s collection of film stills), which were compiled for the occasion of the exhibition.

Everything starts with an idea that leads to a dialogue.

Artists present artworks in strangers' homes in Zurich. In each household, an installation area will be designated, while existing items (furniture, books, and personal objects) will be reinstalled in the art space.

With the artworks thus displaced, visitors must directly contact the private hosts, whose phone numbers are available alongside their displayed belongings at Réunion.
