Venice 3

It is my tradition to start from Spanish pavilion and it was a very good start. Finnish pavilion was interesting, combination of organic creatures and nice video. I like nordic pavilion a lot as an architecture and this year, exhibition was really fitting well together. The work of Nabbteeri was very inspiring. Australian pavilion shows beautiful video with a nice way of typing code and music. UK pavilion was about particles but bit more ghost side. Japanese pavilion was a surprise, very similar sound installation to my partner’s ( and his instruments are more beautiful ). Of course concept is different and I liked the story and stones. 
I think I enjoyed and stayed at French pavilion the most in the end. They always make very nice seating place for the audience as a part of installations and this year was like something from the palace Cheval. I always try not to stay too long for video works in Biennial but I couldn't move and wanted to watch again, with a feeling of being involved in the world of which the artist had created. I enjoyed Venice Biennial this year a lot, but the biggest evocation of feeling was the works of Jannis Kounellis at Fondazione Prada. It was stunning and really good with the atmosphere of the building.

Venice 2

First, went to New Zealand pavilion as I like works of the artist Dane Michele. Then arsenale, the works of Haris Epaminonda, my favorite artist since long time who won the silver lion was simply amazing. As well as Gabriel Rico, Apichatpong Weerasethakul. And nice discovery was Tarek Atoui, sound installation with objects and organic technology. The performance of Lithuanian pavilion was only on Saturday, but the empty beach was also nice as an installation.

Venice 1

It was very long journey in the end but once you arrived in Venice, everything was fine. Since only 2 hours left before closing, I visited the closest pavilions. Portuguese, Bulgarian, Iran and Dominican. It wasn't my favorite though, the architecture of Portuguese pavilion was very atmospheric. And I like the theme of this year.
