The vinyl record was released to mark the end of the Biennale, capturing the essence of the sonic interventions which have unfolded in the pavilion space over the last six months. The pavilion is the result of a collaboration between Luxembourgish artist Andrea Mancini and the multidisciplinary collective Every Island and was conceived as an infrastructure for the transmission of sound.
The pavilion welcomed four guest artists at the Biennale—Selin Davasse, Célin Jiang, Stina Fors and Bella Báguena. Their creations were turned into an ongoing dialogue, now available as a vinyl record.
