Chiara Camoni presents "Con te con tutto" (With You, With Everything), the Italian Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale. In a conversation with curator Cecilia Canziani and Alessandro Rabottini, Camoni discusses how the project emerged organically from years of friendship, collaboration, and shared thinking, rather than being a staged event.
The pavilion matters because it exemplifies a relational, process-driven approach to national representation at one of the world's most prestigious art exhibitions. By foregrounding mutual relationships and organic development over spectacle, Camoni and Canziani challenge conventional expectations of biennale pavilions, offering a model of artistic practice rooted in community and sustained dialogue.
