The exhibition WATER DREAM MEMORY is hosted at Palazzo Zorzi, headquarters of the UNESCO Office in Venice, in conjunction with the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.

The exhibition explores water as a threshold element: unstable, elusive, and suspended between presence and disappearance. This liminal condition mirrors today’s ecological crisis—fragmented, often invisible, yet deeply shaping our societies.

Organized by WAMU+NET and curated by Eriberto Eulisse within the framework of the S+T+ARTS AQUA MOTION project, the exhibition brings together artistic practices that translate scientific research into immersive and poetic experiences, namely through the works Thermal Alchemy, by Sara Bonaventura, and Intermittence, by Lukas Taido.

Both artists translate scientific data into visceral imagery and spatial tensions, allowing water – whether present, absent, or remembered – to emerge as a critical and sensitive force.
Through this aesthetic inquiry, the exhibition aims at reconnecting individuals and communities with water as a shared heritage and a collective responsibility. Eschewing traditional narratives of catastrophe, WATER DREAM MEMORY creates immersive zones of attention. It invites viewers to slow down and engage with water not as a ‘neutral resource’ but as a living matter shaped by time, circulation, and care.
