Chiara Camoni’s Italian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2026

The Italian Pavilion at the 2026 Venice Art Biennale hosts Chiara Camoni’s project con te con tutto (With You With Everything). The installation unfolds across two adjoining tese: in the first hall, twenty‑four figures—described by the artist as “minor deities”—invite visitors to enter their space, to move among the voids, and to engage in a form of quiet communication. The installation has a powerful presence: the sculptures, made primarily of ceramic, delineate a dynamic landscape that is constantly reshaped by the encounter between the figures and the people moving among them.

This idea of transformation and shared experience continues in the second space, where Camoni stages an environment in the making. Here, floors and partition‑walls seem to rise directly from the earth, forming a square populated by seats that converge toward a garden. Once again, the reference is to living matter—plants, which the artist also used to shape the figures in the first hall—organisms that change over time with the shifting of the seasons.
