Chiara Camoni at the Italian Pavilion: "Con te con tutto" at the 61st

Chiara Camoni at the Italian Pavilion: "Con te con tutto"

Period: from 09/05/2026 to 22/11/2026. Venue: Arsenale, Campo de la Tana, Venice. Opening: 09/05/2026 at 10:00.

"Con te con tutto" is a site-specific installation that reshapes parts of the Arsenale into a shifting landscape. Commissioned for the Italian Pavilion, the work emphasizes shared craft practices and the reuse of found materials to create a contemporary narrative about memory, landscape and the relationships between human, animal and sacred.

Main features

• Forms and materials: more than twenty life-scale terracotta figures modelled with the coil technique, combined with recycled plastics, industrial offcuts and everyday objects.
• Installation: works are arranged like a silent grove, often in low light so that illumination changes perception over time.
• Themes: hybrid forms referencing ancient cultural heritage reinterpreted in a contemporary key; reuse as an aesthetic and political practice; the relationship between body and gaze.

Why visit

The installation encourages close, contemplative viewing: scale and materiality prompt tactile and visual attention, while the layout and lighting create pathways of discovery.
