The 2022 Venice Biennale Finds Hope at the End of the World

Artsy

Within the exhibition, technology reminds viewers of the intensities of our bodies and the vulnerabilities of our flesh. Mire Lee’s deeply unnerving kinetic sculpture Endless House: Holes and Drips (2022) uses a large mechanical device with liquid clay that resembles organs or other fleshy objects revolving across low-tech motors. Over the course of the Biennale, the clay will dry and crack, evoking the body’s capacity to bleed, be torn apart, or become seriously maimed.
