Argentina

Within The Laboratory of the Future in Venice, the Argentine Pavilion studies the Future of Water. The exhibition presents the many facets and scales of water across the country. The exhibition presents the multiple facets and scales of water across the country. Upon entering the Pavilion, we realise that a blue fluid has flooded the lower part of the pavilion, while the upper part remains intact. This ‘fluid’ is not a literal liquid, but a single colour that covers it all up to a perfectly horizontal level of 70 cm in height.
Above this intangible liquid, a series of white planes of light are loosely arranged and contain the exhibition. The curatorial criteria are structured through a water glossary that includes all water scales. Images are arranged that resonate with each glossary term on the light planes. New relationships emerge between water, territory, cities, and a selection of recent Argentine architecture.
