MLADEN BIZUMIC (*1977) shows nine 1:150 models of exhibition pavilions, designed by visionary architects, which were pulled down after their temporary usage. They are accompanied by nine blueprint mental maps as well as an animated tour of an idealized modernist space. By dislocating the original intentions of famous architects to the pacific tourist jewel Fiji, Bizumic suggests that in our globalized world modern architectural ideas have not failed, they have mutated.
