Chilean Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale: 'Inter‑Reality' by Norton Maza

Inter‑Reality is an immersive installation designed as a collective environment that asks visitors to experience space and time in a slow, layered way. Developed in Santiago, the project reframes global issues from a South American perspective.

• Artist: Norton Maza
• Curators: Dermis León, Marisa Caichiolo
• Location: Arsenale, Campo de la Tana (Castello), Venice
• Dates: From 06/05/2026 to 22/11/2026
• Vernissage: 06/05/2026 at 16:45 (by invitation)
• Genres: immersive installation, contemporary art, multisensory projects

The work functions as a complex perceptual field built from large-scale architectural elements, staged structures, visual components and an original soundscape. Visitors are invited to move through the space and shift viewpoints to uncover multiple narrative layers.

Key themes include migration, environmental crises, geopolitical tensions and disinformation—global topics interpreted through South American artistic practices. The project illustrates how contemporary art blends technology, music and hyperreal elements to form shared narratives that provoke reflection on memory, power and freedom.

Practical tips:

• Allow enough time to visit multiple vantage points and absorb the installation's layered composition.
• Check opening hours and ticket information on official event channels before your visit.
• Some sections may have limited access or timed entries; if attending with a group, verify arrangements in advance.

Located within the Arsenale complex, the pavilion is reachable from Venice's historic center; use the Campo de la Tana location to navigate on-site.
