Doug Aitken creates kaleidoscopic catwalk for Saint Laurent show in Venice
American artist Doug Aitken has designed a plant-filled mirrored installation for the Saint Laurent menswear spring summer 2021 fashion show in Venice.
Called Green Lens, the kaleidoscopic catwalk is located on the Venetian island of Certosa.

Planters full of foliage have been placed between the faceted reflective surfaces of the 10-pronged pavilion.
"The installation is a living artwork," Aitken told Dezeen.
"I wanted to design something that was physically alive," he added. "Much of the work is botanic, it is actually vegetation, almost creating a lush forest-scape."
The decagon is made of Alucobond, a composite panel of two aluminium cover sheets combined with a fire-retardant.
During the show, smoke machines and colour-changing lights turn Green Lens into a shifting backdrop, soundtracked by nature sounds that were recorded on the island.

Green Lens was commissioned by Saint Laurent's creative director Anthony Vaccarello for the fashion house's menswear spring summer 2021 show, which took place in Venice last night.
Guests to the show sat on long white benches as models showcasing the collection walked through the reflective archways.
The installation will remain on Certosa Island until the end of July as an artwork in its own right for the public to experience, which Aitken said was crucial to the work's aim of being inclusive.

Aitken chose a reflective material for Green Lens to represent the idea of remaining in the present moment while reflecting on what the future might hold.
"I was working on this project for almost the entire of Covid," he said.
"I think that one of the things the pandemic did to us as a society was to really force us to look at the present, or the future, where we're going from here, and to question ourselves as individuals and as a society," he continued.
"I became very interested in the idea of an artwork really being a space for the present. A space for ideas for reflections, not looking at existing narratives but instead looking within oneself."
The work was designed for a Saint Laurent menswear show
According to Aitken, Green Lens aims to ground visitors in the present moment and encourage them to engage with the physical object in front of them.
"I wanted to create an artwork that could be a tool to activate our perception," said the artist.

Saint Laurent said that carbon emissions related to the project will be offset through reforestation programmes dedicated to the island.
After the work is dismantled, the plants will be donated to the island, while the fashion house has also pledged to restructure damaged cloister ruins on Certosa.
"It was this little destroyed forgotten island," said Aitken.
"We wanted to create something there that would bring life back to it."

Doug Aitken is an American artist who works across a range of mediums. Other projects by Aitken that feature reflective materials include a mirrored building in the Swiss Alps that reflects a shifting display of scenery and sky.
Saint Laurent is an Italian fashion house founded in 1961 by designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé. A museum dedicated to the designer in Marrakech was created by Studio KO.

Venice and cruise ships: the story behind the government ban | CNN Travel
Interesting read and insight. I just read in the news that starting on August 1, 2021 cruise ships will be banned. But it seems the alternate options aren't that good either.

Canada blurs fact and fiction with green screen-wrapped Venice Architecture Biennale pavilion
Montréal studio TBA has wrapped the Canadian pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale in a green screen so that it can be replaced digitally with other buildings.
Called Impostor Cities, the pavilion was designed to be a comment on architectural authenticity focusing on the way Canadian cities are often used to portray other places in films.
"The Pavilion celebrates the protean Canadian cities and buildings that pose as cinematic doubles," said the pavilion's design team.
"Challenging visitors to think about architectural authenticity, the onsite and the onscreen, at a moment when the blurring of fact and fiction takes on an important significance."
TBA wrapped the Canadian pavilion in green sheeting
TBA and curator David Theodore aimed to drastically alter the appearance of the Canadian pavilion, which was designed by Italian studio BBPR in 1958 and was recently renovated.
It has been largely wrapped in green sheeting to give the building a dramatic impact.
The green mesh has a construction site aesthetic
"Dramatic is the right word, but also theatrical, mischievous, and cinematic," the design team told Dezeen.
"Wrapping the structure in a green mesh fabric highlights its quirky spiralling profile," they continued.
"The wrap changes the pavilion into an icon visible across the Giardini, in bold contrast to our neighbours, the staid British, German, and French pavilions. Even at a distance visitors will instantly identify our theme of architecture and cinema."
The green wrap disguises the building
The green mesh disguises the building and gives the impression that the pavilion's renovations are still underway.
"It's about architectural identity and faking it," they continued.
"We hope visitors think that the pavilion is under renovation again and that then they discover they can digitally erase and replace the pavilion with Canadian impostor buildings."
The wrap also allows the building to be used as a digital green screen.
Using an Instagram filter called Svela-Finzione, which translates into English as "reveal the fake", visitors can replace the pavilion with a building in Canada.
"If you're standing there, you see a green-wrapped building," said the tam.
"If you look through your camera, you see buildings from Canada digitally inserted in the place of the Pavilion. The wrap flips the script, making movies double as architecture."

Within the pavilion is an exhibition that aims to highlight when Canadian buildings and cities have been used to represent other places in the world.
"The exhibition shows visitors that the fictional worlds they see onscreen are likely to be Canadian cities," said the team.
And it challenges them to reimagine what it means to experience architecture. The cities we inhabit together onscreen are meaningful and valuable ways to live together in a changing world."
Germany's 2038 pavilion at Venice Architecture Biennale also utilised digital technology with QR codes placed on the walls of the empty building. Scanning the codes allowed visitors to watch movies explore the world in 2038.
