but. in april 25th a boat sank in the mediterranean 700 migrants drowned this was on his coast of bishop has brought the wreck to the venice biennale a but can devise will really be cast as on or is it just tasteless well it's certainly getting people talking and that is very much in the spirit of this being on a now in its 58th edition which aims to open up new perspectives on the world instead succeeding let's take a look. fog

steam sic ribbons of it rolling down the facade of the central pavilion. the artificial fog envelops the visitors at the entrance. to ralph rudolph promised powerful images and the show begins with one created by lara for. art that you can physically feel. good it's rising from the believes it was a brave collective all the faults of the visitors who are inside who are engaging us more. of course as human beings for not just about big. nerds we can live in the parents to the future but of our bodies we're always living the rest of the exhibition is entitled may you live in interesting times what does that. i mean is that

a chinese curse as is widely supposed to know that that's a political myth and of this age of fake news and alternative facts this show urges us to take a closer look at the world around us and to take a stance. was really. good of you know by people coming. in this is more cabinet is a diagram of created by dominicans are dispersed and joy brittle it's amazingly realistic but where are the animals and other living beings. don't give up more is actually based on old photographs of some of the driest places on earth through the desert in chile where there's a few. so it's not you know something you see the science museum also making us think about what could be the future earth with climate change. many die

rama's used to offer an insight into the past stage scenes of everyday life this dire on a gives an insight into the future into death is dr rama. also to be religious for what works for real. rudolph has so many works which are easy to understand and yet have a lasting impact. to me durham who won this year's golden lion for lifetime achievement brought a slab of stone his path around the world he detailed. me india. how it's brought them to mumbai our travels through the suez canal that afraid. to it becomes a. story about will work of a privilege. minutes of office building for you for live. weighing in at half a ton. but at the same time it's

a symbol of exploitation. really love isn't one for spectacle nor does he believe in political correctness he thinks that should be allowed to be an image that burns itself into the u.s. mind so that it's not forgotten. a robot swapping clean a surface soiled by viscous liquid that looks like blood over and over again. what you're still working on the old george bush period good. for you. you do it. every night desperate beast that might shatter the glass panels at any time programmed with 32 different motion sequences everything under control.

to gloss over. just the last screen every day if. the work is by the chinese artists when young and pen you who think that the essence of mass is that it cannot be taint. the jury. too i. was your. son was before you. think it's possible to read this many different love. artists. you can see 1st free expression. if you live in a society that's. structured to confer expression.

this. is not dissimilar to what sounds. like a murderous whose crime comes back to haunt them. a machine perhaps can be controlled a human being cannot. humans try to seek their own path in venice this path could lead perhaps to lithuania's pavilion to some ultra with a deeper meaning. i cried so much when i heard that the corals want to exist anymore the girl sings. it the way it is the winner of this year's golden lion for the best national contribution to the venice biennale 0.

0. 0. 0. 0. sun sea is a performative piece it was created by the artist trio reveal a budget of 5 a good i need to and lena. i think. it's actually you want to feel that it's a nice contrast between the songs there are underneath but there is a lot. of side to inform on their real lives on the song soon you'll observe. a lot. going on in the service. i know there are 6 and something to look at 1st glance they might look like big. at

the beach but the people in swimwear sing about the impact of everyday travel on our climate or about the mass extinction of species company text explains how casually crises unfold today with the ease of a pop song a brilliant piece of work but when you're a worthy winner. where to now the longest long is in front of the french pavilion. is it worth the wait. it's smoky and folky here to visit a metaphysical pressure cooker or a mystical palace whatever it is it's a leering hotel you come on really good and deep next simplest touch so. full of visiting is have to go around the back.

and the one thing you want to answer for their grand entrance you know the one thing that. you have to find a new way to life and you know always that you and just began trying to do right. there right away and it's it's much more special for the back. here you know how. we've rallied. so if you if you want to know they need to get into it but you know just climb a bit but you know. it's like when you. come in. here we study and then you get on to the british series take the day. break that.

busy all around is the detritus of civilization. busy creates miniature installations depicting the end of the world she's interested in a state of transition as well as that of destruction. it's a bit didn't it and look green when it's in me it's quite close to reality and futures in their thirty's. yeah they're well but. the work also brings to mind biblical imagery and noah after the flood released to dive to find land. who won the turner prize in 2013 travelled across france inviting artists and

performers to come with her to venice to animate the french pavilion. if. we met a magician there can't start getting the table or the birds flying out of paintings and we couldn't believe it so as i can reverse it we carry on the tree and then bam joined a and it gives an amazing thing. if a film journey with real discoveries digital surrealism continuing into the analog world. a marching band. i mean we met and i don't know where you go here is the fault of the brass band that we met you know oh no there weren't ready to sail. down. the you know we did.

know fish is in the unconscious and discovers the stakes of the world magnificent but where should we go now after all this strangeness welcome we expect at the german trevelyan. now to show up and run want to do something completely different with her head hidden the artist representing germany can't talk right now and has her own spokeswoman. the artist's real name is not tasha sather haiti and she was born in iran and is now a professor in britain and this is a work of anti representation she simplified her name. to constrain what is the story with this measure of conformity the artist wanted to confront the challenge

of curating the german trevelyan in venice and the optimal form for doing this is integration. that's hard as you to have a man is not a pseudonym an adaptation. i don't see what. the artist produced videos for the be another depict or journeys to migrant processing centers in germany the centers have been called anchor centers anchor here is a euphemism for arrival decision return. to centers service holding camps until people are deported or choose to go back to their countries of origin voluntarily. in pouliot in italy the artist visited the spot where migrant harvest helpers were killed in a road accident he. kept not just as you to help them and also i chose that task as you to happen man because she. is made very much for significance mcnish in the way

she works with different art forms different forms of knowledge and has successful transitions between music installations and the different sensual impressions that are impossible to come. like at the french her body and here to the front entrance is closed. in sark there are rocks and a dam that reaches to the ceiling it's powerful but permeable. it's a spot and cross all pole dams to hold back water and the accumulation of pressure forms energy says they live in an arch against the pressure that they are expecting but if the pressure is too high or miscalculated then they burst. it's a simple image to illustrate some german people's fear of being inundated with migrants.

it doesn't seem as if this wall will hold for very long the other side reveals the simplicity of the installation. the structure is made of wood and cardboard. screech from the speakers the soundtrack of protests. message clearly received time to move on. these spaces are meant to be for all races you know follow tribes for all communities to speak the truth because it's my show me that. this statement could well be the most so for this year's bee and. the dominance of the west is over and vanished to us from the global south especially from asia and africa are represented this year as never before.

impossible to miss magnificent self-portrait by the south african photographer and activist. who exposed various roles. her gaze is seeking. questioning. demanding. we don't have much presentation f. museums around the world so i think that it's about time it's we do that racial you're a genre specifically spaces and also to take ownership of our voices to take ownership of our plec i kaif's we write our own narrative is visual narratives are very important and also for us to say that we are proud of who we are as black people. proud and joyful this was one of the great emotional moments of this has been on

the surface are gonna celebrated its 1st national pavilion in venice an exhibition that is 120 years old the country's 1st lady came to the inauguration as a top british architect to david adjaye who has canadian roots and who just on the pavilion. this president wants to ensure that the gods are central to the development of a country central to tourism subtotal soft part of the country and communicating to the world the kind of incredible benevolence of a country and its people so that's why we're here and not a small 1000000000 but a very large privilege making a very large state with. just designed plays on good nation building traditions creating an intimate space for the sensitive portraits by painter the net your dog watching. the. answer 1st is by. yeah braun gammas 1st professional female photographer she

started taking pictures at the age of 14 and captured the political developments in ghana which in $157.00 was one of the 1st african countries to gain independence from britain and that narrative informs ghana's 1st pavilion which is untitled gun of freedom. in such a powerful state where we have freedom you know what does that freedom mean what it means than in 1057 when he got on the pan then what does it mean now how you know how is that freedom grow or not grab it or. what does it mean for us to be free. 6 artists from different generations offer their viewpoints on these questions. john a conference video installation was commissioned especially it's about migration climate change and trust and environment. the works will be displayed in ghana's capital city opera after the going out and will be accompanied by

a series of debates around the gama freedom project. it's all very well coming to venice you know with the well heeled crowd and doing something like this but what relevance and what resonance that they actually have within the country not just in our ground i mean and in the kind of sense that web people you know maybe static large galleries but in communities across the country this is very much a part of this process. thousands of kilometers live between ghana and india but only a few meters separate that tikka billions of the world's biggest democracy is being represented in the mass for only the 2nd time the government set the theme the pavilion pays tribute to a national icon mahatma gandhi this year is the 150th anniversary of his birth. every time a dime's of places of this. then we do look up to gandhi so the idea was to really

look at these artists and how they're lewd to all very subtly he walked him through his ideas and pronounced values of either peanuts nonviolence passive resistance many milken's option ecological concerns and so on. in 1039 mahatma gandhi wrote his 1st letter to as of hitler addressing him as dear friend. just as khaled has decided to project the original manuscript onto a smoke screen dante's failed attempt to prevent a war 5 weeks before germany marched into poland remains very moving today. the center of the work is really the viewer who 1st reads the message in 1st person because it as is your friend friends have been urging me to write to you for the sake of humanity and i think it's a moment of reflection of your own position and how you might see in the words your

own gestures and actions. to local county to gandhi is a point of reference she explores violence in public space sexual violence india is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for women. in the artist's works are wearable. so this is for protection for the female body but the mccann ism is such that when you're wearing it you can move too easily you know the hands move in a particular way the head moves in a particular way so you're trapped in the body is trapped in a way so i'm talking of what the things the notion of protection and the motion of being trapped. what does it mean to be a woman in a patriarchal society the artist herself or the arm of a foreman has to do this in the middle of mumbai was courageous.

it's getting loud here in the brazilian pavilion. partly fictional documentary that follows the rehearsals for a swim in garo competition this subculture combines folklore of pop and vogue it's a scene of the tracks that involves the l.g. b.t.i. community and young people from the outskirts of brazil's big cities. there are poor people from the favelas a socially speaking people who are very very less access to things up. for whites or more privileged class colonial class of people in the north east have access to it so there's a feeling of. collectivity and they space where they get together they recognise

each other they understand that they belong to a certain form of existence and and that is mainly for me a very very beautiful form of resistance despite the public power i mean the state that power. moreas fighting for self-assertion. there is no hierarchy regarding general beauty models just an incredible amount of energy. the c.s.b. analogy is with some pretty serious topics but also in a very elaborate field and colorful way. shaggy and fairy and this could be chewbacca seen from inside. and here she comes. at the. it out until the end on

a also known as choppy short for shoplifter alias. the route through her privilege and leads from the darkness to the end of the rainbow into the sky. the material hair extensions from china as cheap and as many as possible. just like the plays they can't just messed and and be embraced by almost like like you know walking into your children book dream world or being embraced by your uptight if instead of you're bracing for the title but it's. basically my main inspiration as humans and human ingenuity and you know the absurdity of the things of the me mass

produced for obscure purposes like most of the color hair extensions to be out the to our own hair shop the who was born in reykjavik has been living in new york for a long time. hess sculptures have already been displayed at the museum of modern art and on a record cover fulfill the icelandic. color therapy where art seeks to put feel as in a good mood. that was off $21.00 from the venice denominate with artists and visitors from around the world. thanks for joining us see you again next week.
