BACKGROUND
XXIV BIENNALE DI VENEZIA
WITH FRANCESCO LIBRIZZI AND STEFANO TROPEA
Background, is the Kingdom of Bahrain’s second National participation at the 13th International
Architecture Exhibition- La Biennale di Venezia. The exhibition explores the way in
which we increasingly construct an imaginary of remote and uniconic urban landscapes through
their appearance as background imagery in the media, where urban settings and architectural
symbols are used as a medium to convey a socio-political context. During the duration of the
four months of the exhibition, the installation will transform, accommodating the change of
seasons, the change of light, the change of the span of day- giving visitors the opportunity to
experience a living landscape.
