its image, subtitles and audio to randomly combine in order to release a potential 'spell' embedded within it); Settlement (2004, the legal purchase of a square foot of land as a gift to a stranger), Nightshift (2004, the tracking of a late night parade of nocturnal animals to the Frieze Art Fair, mapped, to provide animal paths through the fair's 'labyrinth' for human visitors to follow) and M-path (2006, the collection and distribution of "appropriate" footwear for gallery visitors to wear, altering their movement through the gallery space, and therefore their perception of it). A trilogy of video installations, Hole (2007, at Bologna Museum of Modern Art), Around (2007, based in Dublin and partly set in Ballymun) and Pyramid (2008, commissioned for the Folkestone Triennial) developed a series of myths set in the near future and focused on the relationship between a community and its architectural ruins. Echo (2009, a video installation commissioned by Creative Time, New York), interweaves archive footage, documentary technique and conjecture to reveal that a derelict military ballroom on Governors Island, New York, was a site used for an anti-materialistic gift-exchange ritual invented by the children of the island's military.

Invited by the Benaki Museum, Athens, to work with its collection Chodzko made You'll see; this time it will be different, (2013), an exhibition as retrospective, of 20 apparently 'old' posters advertising exhibitions (with themes ranging from: Jealous Animals to Unpopularity) of the Benaki collection, set in the future (2065–2078), and sited in often 'impossible,’ peripheral spaces, dispersed to the outskirts of Greece.
