The Dutch and Nordic Pavilions were probably my favourite of the whole biennale. They joined together and invited a collaborative artist team to curate the show, which featured somewhere around 30 artists. The concept behind the show was that each pavilion was a house (one was for sale and one was owned by a collector, who featured drowned in a pool!). Therefore artists weren't identified and it was like you were a voyeur walking around someone else's home. Then you come across lots of disjunctures which disrupt the idea of these 'houses' as everyday abodes. Some photos below:
