EXHIBITOR/S
Pedro Neves Marques

The Gothic architecture of Palazzo Franchetti turns into a futuristic spaceship launched into deep space, looking for vampires. The cosmic journey taken by Pedro Neves Marques is an introspective one, and invites visitors to question gender identity, sexuality, reproduction, and pregnancy by means of site-specific installations and video screenings. This reflection will be about the human and the non-human, while Neves Marques reflects on the social and economic dynamics and on the concepts of violence, control, power, and hope.
