Con te con tutto — Chiara Camoni at the Italy Pavilion

Period: from 09/05/2026 to 22/11/2026 (vernissage 09/05/2026 at 10:00).
Venue: Arsenale, Campo Della Tana (Castello), Venice.

About the work

"Con te con tutto" is a site-specific installation that reshapes the Arsenale into a transforming landscape. Curated by Cecilia Canziani, the project emphasizes shared, craft-based practices: coil-built ceramics, recovered materials and found objects come together to tell a contemporary story of landscape and memory.

Main features

• More than twenty ceramic figures, slightly larger than human scale, arranged like a silent forest.
• Combination of traditional materials (terracotta) with recycled plastics, industrial leftovers and everyday found objects.
• Works set in low light that change with illumination, inviting close, contemplative viewing.
• Themes: human–animal–sacred relationships; reuse and the aesthetic of discard; craftsmanship as a politicized practice.

Why visit

The installation presents hybrid forms that evoke ancient cultural heritage reinterpreted in a contemporary key. It engages visitors physically and visually through the placement of works and the modulation of light.
