The 'World's Loneliest House' is a secluded island hideaway surrounded by the sea, located on Ellidaey, a remote island south of Iceland that is part of the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago of 15 to 18 islands.

About 300 years ago, five families lived on this island. The lone structure on the island was designed to serve as a lodge for puffin hunters.

Surprisingly, the structure is encircled by a fence and has been cloaked in mystery since it first appeared in public forums.

A rustic house on Elliaey Island lacks modern comforts but features a rainwater-fueled sauna. It epitomises tranquillity and a simpler existence by the water in a protected nature reserve.

The one-of-a-kind display, coordinated by TRIADIC's Mafalda Millies and Roya Sachs, marks a change from linear showcase forms, in which art is no longer about one-sided contact between the exhibit and the spectator, but a vivid exploration of imagination through a deeply immersive experience.

"As an institution dedicated to showcasing the best of India to the world and presenting the best of the world to India, we are thrilled to bring this fun and quirky show to our country for the very first time," Isha Ambani, daughter of Nita Ambani and head of Reliance's retail sector, said. RUN AS SLOW AS YOU CAN be imagery-laden, surrealist, and sensual realm is both fresh and fun, pushing the frontiers of art as we know it. While this display is fresh and inventive in its conceptual, often satirical approach, at its centre is a celebration of a curious, exploring energy that is very Indian." She added, "I am confident that TOILETPAPER'S largest show to date will strike a chord with the younger Indian audience, providing them with an entirely new perspective on art that fuels imagination and creative energy."

Among those in attendance were renowned artists, art critics, gallerists, and young art enthusiasts from throughout the world.

The exhibition will stay at NMACC, Mumbai from 25 July 2023 to 20 August 2023.
