      This article explores the meditation that Hannah Collins develops in her video installation Solitude and Company (2008-2010) on the relationship between the hybrid identity of postcolonial immigrants and the idea of hospitality as an ethics of diaspora. In the light of concepts such as non-place, textuality, micro-narratives, hybridity, double consciousness, and diaspora introduced by postmodern theory, it shows how the performative discourses of the Algerian immigrants symbolically activate the visual space of the abandoned warehouse, and how this agency enacts an imaginary, nostalgic and utopian geography which deconstructs the opposition between the territory of the self-host (the ‘citizen’ of the postcolonial nation) and the mutilated original home of the other-foreigner (the inmigrant, the diasporic subject). The analysis concludes that inasmuch as it is the condition of possibility of cultural hybridity in the diaspora, this deconstructive geography is the foundation of a hospitable encounter between different subjectivities in a postcolonial context –the ethical encounter that underlies the viewer’s aesthetic experience. ; Este artículo explora la reflexión que Hannah Collins desarrolla en su videoinstalación Soledad y compañía (2008-2010) sobre la relación entre la identidad híbrida del inmigrante poscolonial y la idea de la hospitalidad como una ética de la diáspora. A partir de los conceptos de no-lugar, textualidad, micro-relato, hibridez, doble conciencia y diáspora de algunos autores posmodernos, se observa cómo las narraciones performativas de los inmigrantes argelinos activan simbólicamente el espacio visual de la fábrica abandonada y configuran así una geografía imaginaria, nostálgica y utópica que deconstruye la oposición entre el territorio del yo hospedador -el ‘ciudadano’ de la nación poscolonial- y aquel del origen mutilado del otro huésped -el inmigrante, el sujeto diaspórico-. Entendida como la condición de posibilidad de la hibridez cultural en la diáspora, se concluye que esta geografía ...
