Wildcard

For the closing act of Seaworld Venice, Florentina Holzinger’s project for the Austrian Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale, the artist will stage a “final dinner” featuring bodily waste collected from visitors over the past seven months. The coda, titled Closing Étude and presented at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, extends the pavilion’s concept, which included filtering urine from on-site port-a-potties into a dunk tank.

A statement said the distilled remains will be displayed outside the pavilion on November 22 as “a monument for the future.”
