The notion of fiction is at the heart of the works by Argentinian artist Jorge Macchi (*1963). He uses visual traps staging familiar elements such as clocks, instruments, maps, newspapers, and furniture to explore our ability to theorise the fragile equilibrium of everyday life, constantly haunted by the spectre of incidents.
