Poland
Impossible Objects is a project exploring the relationship between modernism and politics in Poland's rebirth after 1918, inspired by the canopy above the entrance to Jözef Pilsudski's burial crypt. The project examines the complexities of Polish identity and its relationship with modernism, using the canopy's contradictions to reflect the country's ambivalence. The project recreates the canopy in 1:1 scale, separating the roof slab from its base, creating an impossible, hallucinatory figure.

Latvia is reopening the archive boxes once again, reminding us (including the Biennial Presidency) of everything that has already been thought up and invented, and inviting us to place the most urgently needed products in the basket, to combine them with one another, and ultimately consume all the knowledge.
Fun, colourful and thought-provoking, it offers a tongue-in-cheek moment to the Arsenale sequence...
Latvia's participation in the Biennale Architettura 2023 is organized and supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Latvia.
