An Alpine carnival: Switzerland stars as a superfiction at the 2024 Venice Biennale
Swiss-Brazilian artist Guerreiro do Divino Amor will represent Switzerland at the 60th Venice Art Biennale, opening Saturday. He gave SWI swissinfo.ch a preview of his work.The Biennale, reminiscent of 19th-century world exhibitions, features 30 national pavilions in the Giardini and a major exhibition in the Arsenale. This is the second consecutive time Switzerland has chosen an artist with a migration background, following Latifa Echakhch in 2022.Guerreiro, born in Geneva and living in Rio de Janeiro for over ten years, feels more accepted and creative there. The Biennale, curated by Brazilian Adriano Pedrosa under the theme “Foreigners Everywhere,” highlights decolonisation, migration, and war.Guerreiro’s work, “The Superfictional Atlas of the World,” includes “The Miracle of Helvetia” and “Rome Talisman,” transmedia installations blending fantasy and hyper-realism. He appropriates and transforms images from various institutions into allegorical narratives.Andrea Bellini, curator of the Swiss exhibition, invites visitors to feel foreign within their own truths. Guerreiro is featured in the fourth episode of “On the Record.”
