The Bulgarian contribution to the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, curated by Iassen Markov, features the experimental installation titled Pseudonature, which explores sustainability amidst the interplay of nature and technology. The outdoor setup reveals the paradoxes presented by artificial intelligence's impact on natural processes, exemplified by a solar-powered snow-making machine that compromises its own energy source. The interior symbolizes a reimagined Bulgarian 'odayas', fostering collective contemplation on how technology affects our relationship with nature. The installation provokes discussion about humanity's role in controlling or adapting to natural forces in an increasingly mediated world.
The Bulgarian contribution to the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale is an experimental installation titled Pseudonature, situated at the intersection of nature and technology.
Contradiction is at the core of the Bulgarian installation: a snow-covered courtyard at the height of summer in Venice, a solar-powered snow-making machine produces artificial snowfall.
The project ultimately raises the question: Do we control nature, or are we merely balancing on the edge of its ever-changing forces?
The pavilion interior features an abstract interpretation of the traditional Bulgarian 'odayas' or living room, conceived as a space for collective thought.
