Europa

Installation at the Venice Biennal 2018 for the Spanish, Belgian and Dutch Pavilions

ESPAÑA, BELGIO and OLANDA – three pavilions with their own architectural identities and nation’s names displayed on their façades, a simplified but true tale of national pride. As a counterpoint to the current spirit of withdrawal into oneself we propose to change the country’s name on the pavilions’ façades by superimposing six letters; a common symbolcelebrating openness, collaboration and courage that outshines nationalistic and bureaucratic powers, a geographical and humanist bond between the three countries and many others: EUROPA in bright and coloured neon lights.
