About the Artist: Daniel Milessi
Paraguayan Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale
The video artist Daniel Milessi aims to explain Paraguayan history through art. At the 55th Venice Biennale, Milessi will present Yasururu Sororo, ‘an imaginary encyclopedia of Paraguayan history in videogame format’. His videogame presentation is a revisionist conception of history, from colonial days to the present. “[It is] a history of invasions … taken as a game, a game where no one can win,’ he further explained.”
