Charlotte Colbert brings her latest installation, “Possible Landscapes”, to the Venice Biennale Arte 2026. This promises to be a visionary journey through dream and imagination presenting surrealist sculptures that blur the boundaries between reality, fiction, and symbolism. Curated by Yasmine Helou, the exhibition unfolds along the Grand Canal, beginning with a monumental sculpture installed in the garden of Palazzo Corner della Ca’ Granda. This initial work conceptually extends to four additional installations situated in the manicured gardens of Aman Venice at Palazzo Papadopoli, together forming an expanded, almost mystical garden dispersed along the canal.

The British-French artist and filmmaker will engage with the city, unfolding in what will appear to be startling installations suspended between dream and imagination, substance and symbolism, fiction and reality. This project conceived specifically for Venice, is the tangible results of Charlotte Colbert’s spirited approach to life and positive exuberance. Richly adorned in meaningful gestures, “Possible Landscapes” is a mystical lend of Nature’s appreciation, beliefs and spiritual awakening, bringing the audience back to familiar references while pushing the boundaries of the multiple ways of perceiving reality in a context built by contrasts – a reflection of Venice itself – the epitome of the contemporary paradox.
