From 9 May to 22 November 2026, Kan Yasuda – Isole del Silenzio (Islands of Silence) will be presented by the Fondation d’Entreprise Wilmotte as an official Collateral Event of the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
In this exhibition, marble sculptures give form to a “mineral garden”, creating an inner landscape imbued with silence, simplicity, and essentiality. The voids carved into the stone embody the Japanese aesthetic concept of Ma — an interval or active space — establishing a quiet harmony between form and formlessness, presence and absence.
Within the dimly lit exhibition space, ten sculptures are arranged like “islands” from which a space of stillness gradually emerges.
