The Pier Luigi Nervi Foundation presents If All Time Is Eternally Present, curated by Chiara Carrera and Marta Barina, featuring video works by Kandis Williams, Meriem Bennani & Orian Barki, Tai Shani. With the exclusive support of Bottega Veneta. Collateral Event of the 2026 Art Biennale.
The exhibition stages a nocturnal encounter between moving image, architecture, and public space on the facade of Palazzo Nervi Scattolin, transforming it into an urban exhibition device. Its ephemeral dimension opposes the logic of the monument-city and, at night, shifts the modes of fruition from consumption to encounter.
The exhibition presents three video works by Williams ("A Travel Guide: Black Gothic in South Korean Horror"), Bennani & Barki ("2 Lizards"), and Shani ("My Bodily Remains"). The works, like the building did in its time, act as interpreters of a collective contemporary condition and assume critical deconstruction as a generative act.
