Η έκθεση είναι αφιερωμένη στο έργο του αρχιτέκτονα και φιλόσοφου Αριστείδη Αντονά. Η έκθεση αποτελείται από πολλά κεφάλαια με το έργο Τhe House for Doing Nothing να είναι το σημείο αναφοράς για τους επισκέπτες.
Begun in 2008, the work was spawned after reading the ideas defended by the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek in his book Violence: Six Sideways Reflections (2008). The author uses the book to encourage us to resist any form of engagement in the world and to withdraw ourselves as to establish a distance for critiquing. Aristide Antonas considers this form of "withdrawal" not as a heroic posture of resistance but as the foundation of our current relationship to the daily and the real.
The House For Doing Nothing draws on the narrative style and fiction from the protagonist’s living environment - hero or simple common man. In the era of hyperconnectivity, the domestic condition is experiencing a sort of paradox: "being at home" is also being connected to the world. The individual is no longer isolated from the public sphere. Contradictorily, it is this withdrawal that now structures the social sphere. The home has become an interface between the private and public spheres, revealing a deep crisis in the traditional notions of "self", "community" and "society". It is this new nature of the home - and therefore of Man - that Aristide Antonas looks to challenge in The House for doing nothing, by questioning the role, or political responsibility, for the domestic condition.
