As Above, So Below will also take shape as a Collateral Event of the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
Curated by Elizabeth Zhivkova and Farah Piriye Coene from ZEITGEIST19, the exhibition will take place in the former Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian on the island of Giudecca, transforming the historic space into an immersive environment for contemplation and ecological reflection.
At a moment of increasing environmental instability, the project proposes the ocean not as a distant entity but as a living system through which to perceive planetary transformations. The sea thus becomes an active archive that preserves the Earth’s deep time, sustains biodiversity, and reflects the delicate balance between technological acceleration and ecological limits.

Video Craft explores the formal and technical properties that video, film, and early moving image technologies share with more traditional craft media like ceramics, textiles, and glass. It brings together artists at different stages of their careers, from early pioneers of video production to emerging digital natives, and illustrates an unlikely partnership between the heavily embodied practices of craft and the ephemeral nature of the screen.
