[@squinkstein]

We still remember this as the highlight of the Biennale that year.

I had the immense pleasure and good fortune of seeing this in person last week and found it to be equal parts disturbing and revelatory and everything a good work of art should be. Well done Rachel for doing your wee country proud. G'oan yersel hen!

Il video diventa dopo pochi secondi quasi ipnotico. E' un'analisi amara e spietata della nostra società attraverso una rilettura decisamente poco ortodossa delle "Avventure di Pinocchio". Straordinari i colori: l'oro e il blu, freddi e stranianti. Molto coinvolgente. Da vedere per riflettere.

We stumbled upon the venue while in Venice. The site hosts were super friendly and the film was a trip! Just when I thought we had escaped Trump on a vacation there he seemed to be again. ;-) Pretty intense imagery for a couple of the scenes. Then again our world is violent, so art should target it. Recommend!

We saw this a week ago while in Venice. The location took some finding in 30 deg of heat but once we did it looked impressive. After less than 60 seconds I was fixed to my seat - quite literally !!! A sharp exposed nail in the back row of the pews had ripped and tangled my trousers such that I literally couldn't move off the pew. After several minutes struggling with with the light of my iPhone manged to free myself enough to be able to beat a hasty retreat back to the apartment hoping no one would notice the tear across my bottom. The visit lasted less than 5 minutes, cost £60 and afraid I can't comment on the film :( !!!!!!!!
