Un’installazione

Comunicato stampa

On the occasion of the Venice Biennale, JR will present Il Gesto on the façade of Palazzo Ca' da Mosto (The Venice Venice Hotel), transforming the site into a venue for a socially engaged project. This large-scale temporary artistic installation, inspired by Paolo Veronese’s The Wedding at Cana, will be on view from May 5 to 9, and will continue inside the Palazzo Ca’ da Mosto, where a monumental tapestry, also designed by JR, will be unveiled.

Drawing on an approach central to the artist’s practice—one that brought the Chronicles project worldwide acclaim—JR brings the celebrated 1563 painting into the present as a contemporary fresco: 176 people connected to the Refettorio Paris community (guests, volunteers, and chefs) have been photographed and recorded to form a collective composition in which every face holds a story.
