North Macedonia Pavilion at Venice Biennale Features Velimir Zernovski's Pietà in Emergency Blankets

The Pavilion of North Macedonia at the Venice Biennale presents Velimir Zernovski's project "Pietà in the Emergency Blankets." The work reinterprets the canonical Pietà motif to address contemporary global crises, focusing on vulnerability, displacement, and collective responsibility. Emergency blankets covering the sculpture symbolize precarious conditions and material realities of the present. The installation creates a contemplative yet critical space, prompting reflection on mourning and care in times of interleaved crises.
