During her residency at the Yiddishland Pavilion, Natalia Chmielarz will develop a project inspired by a riddle found in the pre-war Yiddish weekly Idishe Bilder. The riddle asks: Vos darf men yenem zogn? / What should one say to others? From this seemingly simple question, the artist will construct a neo-mail art work — a gesture of correspondence, dialogue, and reflection on truth and human relations.
As part of the project, Natalia will distribute green, hand-calligraphed envelopes containing the question in Yiddish, Italian, and English, inviting recipients to respond. The collected answers will be placed in a simple transparent urn, forming a collective, ephemeral sculpture presented at La Storta Gallery. Chmielarz will carry out her action both within the former ghetto area and in other parts of the city, reaching residents as well as visitors attending the Venice Biennale of Architecture.
