                  1: Belgium. An abstract representation of unification of Europe. Ode to Joy played in this cavernous audience chamber. You had to take your shoes off. Perfect.

            4. Hungary. A deep-dive on the occupation of Liberty Bridge in Budapest in 2016 when young people occupied the bridge en masse and did yoga along the entire bridge. They also built a viewing platform.

      7. Romania. A focus on the urban playgrounds of the bloc. That roundabout was cast-iron and was heavy as hell.

          Great Britain. Literally an empty pavilion. The exhibition, Island, is allegedly about emptiness and the echo or sounds and memories. It also had a roof terrace.

            United States of America. Pictured here right next to Israel. Their exhibition was about the nature of citizenship and the building of a border wall between USA and Mexico.

                Israel. An exhibition about "the status quo" featuring a prominent model of an area of Jerusalem starkly divided into different areas. Nope.

                  Rolex. We didn't got into the Rolex Pavilion. Rolex isn't a country.

                      Finland. It was all about the public library as the "ultimate 'freespace'" and the idea of the commons.

                        Russia. It was all about train stations in Russia which, considering Russia, was not the worst thing the pavilion could have covered.
