SAS Secret Apartment Show is a site-specific exhibition featured at the 2024 Venice Art Biennale, running during the opening week (April 16-20) and closing week (November 18-24) set in a "secret" apartment located right in front of the entrance to the main venue of the Biennale at the Venice Arsenal. 

The exhibition showcases works from seven international artists and their guests. It delves into themes like biology, waste, violence, technology, displacement, media manipulation, and power politics. 

The art pieces, presented in a labyrinthine space, offer provocative and surreal experiences, exploring the tension between reality and imagination. The exhibition is by appointment only and addresses post-pandemic responses in an increasingly complex world.

Morucchio presented 3 different types of works for this exhibition project: Fantastic Portrait, Celata, Making Faces and a work created especially for this event entitled History Already Absolved Me
