First Artist on Mars, 2004 (solo exhibition at Mission 17 gallery, San Francisco)
About the work (excerpted from Jason Mortara's site):
Several bodies of work presented as a single complete installation. A small house made of vinyl siding and shingles glows from within but has no windows or doors. A projection (shown in the following slide) plays a multilayered audio narrative describing a long journey through vast space and time over remixed NASA video footage. A series of prints document the artist’s activities as a stowaway on board a Mars rover landing craft. Oil paintings with overwrought frames depicting suited handshaking allude to larger forces at work. Victorian paisley wallpaper covers every wall.

Hmmm, that's a nice house design. But how can I enter if there's no door or window? Maybe I can build a larger replica. Then I'd add some windows and doors. :)
