The In Between Art Film Foundation has announced "Canicula," the final installment of its "Trilogy of Uncertainties," set to open at the Ospedaletto Complex during the 2026 Venice Biennale. Curated by Alessandro Rabottini and Leonardo Bigazzi, the exhibition features eight international artists, including Peruvian video artist Maya Watanabe, whose work investigates memory and the politics of representation. The show utilizes the unique architecture of the Ospedaletto’s church and music hall to create immersive environments exploring themes of environmental and political pressure.
This exhibition is significant as a major collateral event for the 2026 Venice Biennale, highlighting the growing importance of moving-image art in contemporary global discourse. By focusing on the metaphorical and physical implications of extreme heat and light, the project addresses urgent climate and social anxieties. Watanabe’s inclusion further cements her status as a leading voice in Latin American contemporary art, bridging the gap between historical memory and experimental video installation.
