About

Phi will join the cultural landscape of the 58th Venice Biennale with the immersive work of two female artists. The exhibition includes a mixed media installation entitled Invasor, by Mexican artist Renata Morales, and Rising, a virtual reality piece by Marina Abramović that explores the effects of climate change and ascending sea levels.

Renata Morales’ Invasor is the culmination of a two year residency with Phi Centre. An installation of 70 used tires painted in glossy candy shades and huge self-portraits printed on distressed textiles to create a dystopian universe of opposites. Morales’ composite figures of assembled media challenge our perceptions of texture, touch, beauty, solace, and violence.

Produced by Acute Art, Rising addresses climate change by transporting viewers to witness the effects of rising sea levels. Wearing an immersive headset, viewers enter an intimate virtual space, where they come face-to-face with the artist, who beckons from within a glass tank that is slowly filling with water. Visitors are invited to make contact with the virtual Abramović, finding themselves surrounded by a dramatic scene of melting polar ice caps.
