PORTFOLIO - Antoni Muntadas, On Translation: I Giardini
On Translation is an all-encompassing site-specific series of projects that Spanish artist Antoni Muntadas has been exhibiting since 1995. The 2005 instalment of the project – On Translation: I Giardini – was composed of a central interactive installation work, as well as photographic, video, and Web-based components.
Produced on the occasion of Muntadas’s selection as the sole official Spanish representative at the 2005 Venice Biennale, this project explores the mediated nature of the event as a high-profile international cultural manifestation. For this exhibition, Muntadas developed a visual vocabulary that echoes that of commercial tourism and airport marketing.
