Different materials, colors and techniques coexist in this wonderful site-specific installation, which we built together with the artist from the very first stages. From the search for materials to give second life to, already during the disassembly of the last biennial, to the architectural and engineering design of the structure.
A long work, started last November, of research, cataloging and storage of different materials.
The one we are most proud of is definitely the ramp we made last year for the German pavilion. Do you remember it? Now completely recycled and renovated it lives again in this colorful pavilion.
And then months of work outdoors, in all weathers, to put up such an impressive structure. But with our fantastic team everything went smoothly and now the pabellón Criollo awaits you at the biennale gardens!
Thank you @solcalero_ @old.kinderhook it has been a pleasure working with such talented people!

This installation, too, has a very low environmental impact as it reuses a large percentage of materials from the previous Biennale and provides from the earliest design stages, for reuse on an island in our lagoon, at a Venetian nonprofit association (details of which will follow in the near future).

In this regard, we share a beautiful gallery of images produced by the artist, in which in addition to the project, all the materials used and their origins are described in detail!
