Maria Eichhorn - Relocating A Structure (Germany) - Venice Art Biennale 2022

German pavilion at the 2022 Venice Art Biennale exhibition, "The Milk of Dreams".

Maria Eichhorn examines the eventful history of the German Pavilion since the beginnings of the Biennale and the powerful resistance art demonstrates when it focuses on social conditions.

Eichhorn's reflections on the relocation of the German Pavilion are accompanied by an analysis of the actual physical structure of the pavilion, which principally consists of two buildings: the Bavarian Pavilion built in 1909 and the extensions carried out by the Nazis in 1938, as seen today. Where is the original structure located? Where do the extensions and the reconstruction begin?

Eichhorn had the foundations of the pavilion excavated and layers of plaster removed from its walls to expose the joints between the earlier structure and the remodeled building. In order to comprehend the radical reconstruction and extension work, she also had the outlines of the window openings and doorways from 1909 laid bare. In this way, the original, hidden pavilion has been rendered visible and tangible.
