An artist at the Venice Biennale 2026 uses a nude performer hanging upside down in a bell as a climate alarm. The provocative act aims to raise awareness about rising sea levels. The performance, part of the Seaworld Venice installation, features a performer swinging inside a large bronze bell to create resonant sounds. This symbolizes urgency regarding environmental degradation and ecological collapse. Holzinger's work critiques tourism and humanity's role in climate change, transforming the Austrian Pavilion into a speculative, partially submerged environment. The installation runs through November 2026.
