The simultaneous Wind of October 15th, 2023. (From Alea, Wind Diary), is included in By the Means at Hand, Vlatka Horvat’s project for the Croatian Pavilion at the The 60th International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennale.

​

In response to the concept of diaspora, I created a diary of my journey using meteorological information on the day I migrated from Quito, Ecuador to London, UK. I used dandelion seeds to draw the shape of the wind in both places and layered them together to create a blurred third shape, suggesting a connection between two distant geographical locations.

“Engaging with the theme of Adriano Pedrosa’s main exhibition for La Biennale di Venezia, “Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere,” Vlatka Horvat’s project for the Croatian Pavilion, curated by Antonia Majaca, exists as an accumulative exhibition of artworks by a wide-ranging group of international artists living “as foreigners,” reflecting on questions and urgencies of the diasporic experience. Horvat is inviting artists living in diaspora all over the world to engage in a series of reciprocal exchanges of artworks and other materials, all of which are sent between Venice and other places by improvised means – via various friends, travelers, and strangers who are enlisted as informal couriers for the project.”
