Water Dream Memory in Venice: Sara Bonaventura & Lukas Taido at Palazzo

Water Dream Memory: Sara Bonaventura and Lukas Taido

Water Dream Memory investigates water as a threshold: an unstable, elusive substance that sits between presence and absence and speaks to today’s ecological challenges. Works by Sara Bonaventura and Lukas Taido transform scientific data and water imaginaries into visual and spatial tensions, encouraging a renewed collective approach to water as shared heritage and responsibility.

What to expect

The exhibition assembles pieces that convert technical information into visceral experiences—textures, suspended forms and spatial dynamics that prompt slower, more attentive ways of seeing. Rather than dwelling on apocalyptic narratives, the show creates immersive "zones of attention" focused on care and perception.
