Sustainable Identities, by Szilárd Cseke (detail)

Installation: cables, polystyrene balls, electric fans, fluorescent tubes.

Hungarian Pavilion - 2015 Venice Biennial  

The balls are pushed by fans along interwined tubes near the ceiling, forming a communicating net. What's the aim? To demonstrate the relationship between the global and the individual.

The most interesting piece on display is a huge inflatable cushion, which continuously inflates and deflates, as if breathing. This object is the “center” of the system and what keeps it alive.

Japanese Pavilion

For Japan's presentation, artist Chiharu Shiota (born in Japan in 1972, but lives in Berlín) gathered different keys from around the world and suspended them on red nets that reach towards wooden boats. According to her, the keys connect us with others and the boats carry people. By combining them, Shiota expects her artwork to provide visitors with inspiration for new ideas and dialogues.
