Giorgio Andreotta Calò's Biennale installation revealed in timelapse

A timelapse video shows the construction of Giorgio Andreotta Calò's 'Senza Titolo', one of the most acclaimed works at the 2017 Venice Art Biennale, which closes today. The monumental installation inside the Italian Pavilion divides the architectural space into two levels. Visitors enter from below, passing through a forest of scaffolding tubes supporting a wooden platform, evoking a five-nave church. White bronze sculptures of large shells cling to some poles, suggesting a dark, deep marine world. A staircase leads to the upper level, where a vast expanse of water mirrors the ceiling, creating a dizzying, alienating vision. A large mirror at the far end reflects the viewer. The water surface illusorily amplifies the pavilion's dimensions, overturning its architecture and generating a mirage-like effect. The two-minute video condenses the entire construction process, from the first scaffolding to filling the water basin.
