IN MINOR KEYS: WHAT WE SAW AT THE VENICE BIENNALE

An overhead summer sun, harsh and multiplied by the closeness of the water, beat down on us in the streets, bridges and canals of Venice caught in a heat wave. We were looking for shelter, and then darkness. And then, a panel, an immersive installation by Khaled Sabsabi that glowed in the middle of the entrance to the exhibition. Colors, slow movements, spectral sounds. Can we also imagine, perhaps, certain scents? This is the solemn entrance to the Arsenale in the 2026 edition of the Venice Biennale exhibition.
