THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH (AND OTHER LIES)

The artists  Nathalie Rey  and  Ece Haskan  transform La Plataforma into a surreal fair where illusion and truth collide. Inspired by the aesthetics of carnivals and traveling shows, his works invite the public to play, look behind the curtain and question what is really on offer. From Rey’s ironic reinterpretations of childhood fantasies to Haskan’s provocative explorations of faith, power, and spectacle, the exhibition reveals a world as festive as it is unsettling—a reminder that, in the great fair of life, we are all players, targets, and sometimes even the prize.

Nathalie Rey  (b. 1976, France)
French multidisciplinary artist based between  Barcelona  and  Istanbul , Rey’s practice combines irony, metonymy and absurdity to explore memory, ecology, consumerism and the parallels between personal and collective history. Trained as an architect at the  École d’Architecture de Versailles , she later obtained degrees in  Literature (University of Barcelona)  and  Fine Arts (Escola Massana) , as well as a postgraduate degree in  Documentary and Artistic Photography (IDEP, 2025) .

Ece Haskan  (b. 1997, Turkey)
Artist based in Istanbul, whose paintings, sculptures and surrealist installations explore identity, belief and collective memory through play and irony. Graduated in  Graphic Design from the Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts , Haskan has exhibited internationally at  Illustroweek Belgrade ,  NFT NYC  and  Blockchain Futurist Summit  (Toronto). His illustration was selected for the  Cheltenham Illustration Awards & Annual (United Kingdom, 2023) .

With  The Greatest Show on Earth (and Other Lies) ,  La Plataforma  reaffirms its commitment to bold art that invites dialogue. The public is invited to enter this carnival of illusions, where nothing is exactly what it seems.
