Charlotte Colbert will bring dream and imagination to Venice for the Biennale Arte 2026, presenting surrealist sculptures that blur the boundaries between reality, fiction, and symbolism. The exhibition unfolds along the Grand Canal, beginning with a monumental sculpture installed in the garden of Palazzo Corner della Ca’ Granda. This initial work conceptually extends to four additional installations situated in the gardens of Palazzo Papadopoli/Aman, together forming an expanded, almost mystical garden dispersed along the canal.
Emulating in a certain sense the nature of the city, this project conceived specifically for Venice, is the tangible results of Charlotte Colbert’s spirited approach to life and positive exuberance. Richly adorned in meaningful gestures, Possible Landscapes seems to be a mystical lend of Nature’s appreciation, Beliefs pursuit and Spiritual awakening, bringing the audience back to familiar references while pushing the boundaries of the multiple ways of perceiving reality in a context built by contrasts such as Venice, epitome of the contemporary paradox.
