#whereartthou with Vincent J. F. Huang’s Sinking Installation for Tuvalu at @la_biennale_di_venezia

At the 56th Venice Biennale (@la_biennale_di_venezia), a contemporary art exhibition, the tiny Polynesian island nation of Tuvalu is telling the story of the impact of climate change with an installation by Taiwanese artist Vincent J. F. Huang. “We consider the installation to be a sinking pavilion, by the sinking nation of Tuvalu, and located in the sinking city of Venice,” says Thomas Berghuis, the curator. “The installation is quite poetic, presenting a dreamscape in which people can be free and easy, wandering amidst the clouds in the sky and the aqua-blue water that matches the color of the lagoons in Tuvalu,” he says. “Yet behind this installation lies the stark reality of what the future of Tuvalu could be when it sinks beneath the rising sea.”

How can people who are moved by this installation contribute? “We are asking visitors to consider taking action on climate change and to help safeguard the future of Tuvalu and other low-lying islands and coastal regions around the world,” says Thomas. “Here the poetics of the installation at the Venice Biennale meet with the politics of working towards a new climate change protocol at the next United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, which starts one week after the end of the 56th Venice Biennale, on November 30, 2015.”
