The Cube Magazine’s article, Biennale Architettura: Exhibitions Not To Be Missed In A Day Walking Between The Giardini And The Arsenale, “ mentions our installation.

The article is in Italian, here.

Here is an English translation of the relevant passage:

At the Central Pavilion we start from a simple but essential premise: the planet Earth is architecture and as such its body is modified by the presence and actions of those who inhabit it. Buildings and urban agglomerations mix with what has always been found here: rocks, earth and organic matter, in an inevitable relationship of relationships. Architecture is not what is placed on the planet, but its perpetual modeling. From this call to awareness, broad reflections unfold on the issues of borders, coexistence between species, the inability of territories and communities to react to exploitation and impoverishment.

A reading that encourages us to change points of view, to start looking at rivers, lakes and mountains not as topographical barriers, but as connecting elements of cultures and identities. In general, there is a sense of urgency: it is no longer the time to think about the future, but to act and face the emergencies of the Earth. To understand this, just stop in front of The Corridor (2021) installation by Dan Majka and Gary Setzer which records climate change, or Antartic Resolution (2020) by Arcangelo Sassolino (created in collaboration with the glaciologist David Vaughan), which reproduces the disturbing sound of crumbling glaciers in Antarctica. In the As one planet section you enter the glass and steel greenhouse of Resurrecting the Sublime (2019), where you can breathe the scent of a mountain hibiscus from the Hawaiian Islands, extinct in 1912.
