ZEITGEIST19

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW is now discoverable on @particle____ Created by @oneoceanfound in collaboration with @ZEITGEIST19 — part of the Particle Creators ecosystem — the project extends beyond the exhibition space through an audio thematic route that guides visitors across the artworks and the layered connections between artistic practices, memory, and planetary transformation. Starting from the idea of the ocean as an archive, an atmosphere, and a living system, the route invites visitors to dive deeper into individual artworks and navigate the project at their own pace — before, during, and after the physical visit. Experience AS ABOVE, SO BELOW on Particle. • AS ABOVE, SO BELOW è ora disponibile su Particle! Creato da One Ocean Foundation in collaborazione con ZEITGEIST19 — parte dell’ecosistema Particle Creators — il progetto si estende oltre lo spazio espositivo attraverso un percorso tematico audio che accompagna i visitatori tra le opere e le connessioni stratificate che attraversano pratiche artistiche, memoria e trasformazione planetaria. A partire dall’idea dell’oceano come archivio, atmosfera e sistema vivente, il percorso invita i visitatori a immergersi nelle singole opere e a esplorare il progetto al proprio ritmo — prima, durante e dopo la visita fisica.

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW Collateral Event of @labiennale On view until June 8 🌊 Water Older Than the Sun (Caspian), 2025 by @almagul.menlibayeva and @suadgara Multimedia installation comprising cybertextile, AI video, documentary footage, and fishing nets. Original Score by Reinhold Heil. Water Older Than the Sun (Caspian) stages the Caspian Sea as both material presence and cultural archive, foregrounding Central Asian ecological realities too often treated as peripheral to global climate narratives. Real fishing nets gathered from the Caspian shoreline hang and pool across the room, transforming the space into a suspended littoral zone, part ruin, part sanctuary, carrying traces of a disappearing ecosystem and of the communities whose work, knowledge, and survival remain entangled with the sea. Extending the visual world of Suad Gara’s moving-image work into the installation’s physical field, this material presence becomes both sculptural environment and cinematic afterimage: threads of lived reality drawn inland, where absence becomes tangible. At the work’s core is Menlibayeva’s cybertextile, a woven image-surface fusing Central Asian weaving lineages with contemporary computational vision. It converses with the venue’s own palimpsest, once a church, later transformed into a textile factory, binding devotion and production into a single material grammar.

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW Collateral Event of @labiennale Now on view until June 8 ✨ Presenting Seeing Echoes in the Mind of the Whale (2024–2025) by Marshmallow Laser Feast — an immersive audiovisual installation exploring the sensory world of cetaceans through sound, perception, and deep listening. Following the journeys of a bottlenose dolphin, a humpback whale, and a sperm whale, the work invites audiences to encounter the ocean through the senses of these extraordinary beings — navigating through vibration, resonance, memory, and song. Developed in collaboration with filmmaker Tom Mustill and the UPC Bioacoustic Applications Laboratory, the installation bridges scientific research and artistic expression, creating a profound meditation on our relationship with the living ocean.

DOORS OPEN So grateful to be opening the gateway of AS ABOVE, SO BELOW, Collateral Event of Biennale di Venezia Arte 2026 @labiennale At @ZEITGEIST19 , a female-led curatorial collective intersecting art and planetary well-being, we believe in cross-sector collaborations and in the power of storytelling to fundamentally shift the conversation. As a female-led curatorial collective, deeply grateful for the collaboration with @oneoceanfound for helping bridge art, ecology, planetary memory, and collective responsibility through this shared journey. For this exhibition we were genuinely inspired by the principles of Hermetic wisdom, the interconnectedness between everything and merging all these invisible to the eye dimensions. We hope to covey the message to slowing down and tuning in above, below and within. Exhibition on view 9 May - 8 June Ex church Santi Cosma e Damiano Fabbrica H3 Giudecca, Venice Shot by Callum Toy

Away from the crowd, Giudecca is a quiet escape, to slow down, and tune in above, below and within. AS ABOVE, SO BELOW is hosted in the historic Ex Chiesa Santi Cosma e Damiano on the Giudecca island. Dating back to the 15th century and now home to Fabbrica H3, the space has moved through many lives - from church to textile factory - embodying cycles of transformation. Today, this multilayered history becomes the setting for the exhibition. 🗓️ 9 May - 8 June | free entry 📍Ex church Santi Cosma e Damiano, Factory H3 🌊 Campo Cosmo, Giudecca, Venezia 🎏 Palanca • La Giudecca è un rifugio silenzioso, un luogo per rallentare e sintonizzarsi - con ciò che è sopra, sotto e dentro. AS ABOVE, SO BELOW è ospitata nella storica Ex Chiesa dei Santi Cosma e Damiano, sull’isola della Giudecca. Risalente al XV secolo e oggi sede di Fabbrica H3, questo spazio ha attraversato molte vite - da chiesa a fabbrica tessile - incarnando cicli di trasformazione. Oggi, questa storia stratificata diventa il palcoscenico dell’esposizione. #BiennaleArte2026 #InMinorKeys
