Chiara Camoni's Italian Pavilion at Venice Biennale 2026 Supported by ZEGNA
At the 61st Venice Biennale, ZEGNA serves as the primary sponsor for the Italian Pavilion, showcasing Chiara Camoni's exhibition titled "Con te con tutto." Curated by Cecilia Canziani, the display consists of two distinct rooms: the first, a sacred space with 24 sculptures such as "Sisters," "Columns," and "Daimons," is suspended in the air, while the second room, characterized by open windows and light, symbolizes a world in development. Camoni's artistic approach emphasizes an intuitive connection with organic materials, time, and collaborative creation. The exhibition draws inspiration from Oasi Zegna, the natural landscape in Trivero shaped by the Zegna family, and highlights the company's textile legacy, including yarns from its historic wool mill. Canziani and Camoni have worked together for over ten years. Additionally, a solo exhibition by Camoni will be hosted at Oasi Zegna. The pavilion prioritizes themes of slowness, transformation, and interconnection among various forms of life, favoring intimacy and collective effort over spectacle.
