At the Venice Biennale there is also Taiwan. With a collateral event on melancholy

Taiwan will present a collateral event at the 2026 Venice Biennale titled "Screen Melancholy," curated by Raphael Fonseca and featuring artist Li Yi-Fan. The exhibition, organized by the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, will be held at Palazzo delle Prigioni and run until November 22, 2026. It explores anxieties of the digital age through a site-specific installation combining a single-channel video and monumental human sculptures, reflecting on information overload, fragmented perception, and the limits of human knowledge.

This event matters because it continues Taiwan's presence at the Venice Biennale, offering a platform for Taiwanese contemporary art on a global stage. The project engages with pressing contemporary issues—digital melancholy, AI-generated imagery, and the politics of image-making—while showcasing Li Yi-Fan's innovative "digital puppetry" technique. It also highlights the Taipei Fine Arts Museum's role in fostering international cultural exchange and discourse.
