Francesco Simeti at Nomad Venice and Joe Odagiri's Film at Venezia 76
During the ninth day of the 76th Venice International Film Festival, artist Francesco Simeti presented a lamp/sculpture at Nomad Venice, a project fostering dialogue between art, architecture, and design. The event took place at Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel, a Gothic building from 1473 recently reopened in Cannaregio. Simeti's work features a metal fern-leaf collage, orange glass fruits, and a serigraphed fabric drape. Meanwhile, at the Giornate degli Autori in Sala Perla, Joe Odagiri's film 'Aru Sendo No Hanaschi (They say Nothing Stay the Same)' was screened, telling the story of a boatman whose ferry service is threatened by a new bridge, symbolizing societal shifts from community to individualism.
