But I Love Human in Venice


Eva & Franco Mattes, NPC streaming

At the second venue presenting RAGE BAIT – a private swimming pool located next to Palladio’s famous Il Redentore church – we’re staging a monumental site-specific video installation. The pool water ripples with the reflection of the video ‘But I Love Human’ (2024), playing on a huge LED screen suspended above the water.

A Necessary Fiction


Eva & Franco Mattes, My Little Big Data

“A Necessary Fiction: Maps, Art & The Models of Our World” opens tomorrow at Abbazia San Gregorio, in Venice. Curated by Sara Almutlaq and Aurora Fonda, it’s “a journey through territories in constant flux, where historical maps—dating from the thirteenth century to the present—serve as a lens through which to examine our enduring need to create models of the world.” We’re exhibiting My Little Big Data (2019).
