The mountainous landscapes of Kyrgyzstan, with their glaciers, rivers and imposing hydraulic infrastructures with a Brutalist imprint, are the starting point for BELEK, Alexey Morosov’s large immersive installation presented by the Pavilion of the Kyrgyz Republic at the 61st International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia. The exhibition, curated by Geraldine Leardi, is set up at the Foscarini Boarding School, in the Cannaregio sestiere, inside theformer church of Santa Caterina, a historic building dating back to the 14th century and transformed several times over the centuries. The exhibition occupies about 600 square meters and takes the form of an immersive environment, at the center of which is a monumental video fresco in dialogue with sculptural, pictorial and sound elements. The very architecture of the space becomes an integral part of the work, helping to construct a complex visual and sensory experience.Design e arti visive
