Mongolia

The exhibition Discovering the Present from the Future by Ochirbold Ayurzana in the Mongolian Pavilion explores the deeper levels of consciousness through interactive sculpture installations. Inspired by the Buddhist deity Citipati, these sculptures, including the three- eyed skull, serve as reminders of the impermanence of life, fostering spiritual transformation and symbolising the search for higher consciousness and enlightenment in Buddhism.
The interactive installation – at Castello 2127/A, opposite the main entrance to the Arsenale – invites visitors to explore the theme of the “Stranger within Myself”, and interact and shape their own journeys of consciousness.
Mongolian artist Ochirbold Ayurzana, born in 1976, has been exploring societal and behavioural changes in the globalised world through his artistic concept of “Consciousness” since 2014. Questioning how consciousness evolves amid the deluge of information, he creates socially and critically reflective works exhibited internationally, allowing viewers to form their individual interpretations.
