HOMO FABER 2026 E-CATALOGUE
In Fondazione Giorgio Cini’s former swimming pool, this installation highlights the beautiful simplicity of vessels used to transport and store water – such as the moon jar, a centuries-old functional vessel, typical of the Korean tradition, with an iconic moon-like silhouette. In the centre of the pool, a semi-circular structure displays a selection of moon jars and similar vases in watery colours, handmade in ceramics, paper, glass, metal and other materials by craft artists from around the world. Evocatively lit and reflected in the shimmering water, this structure suggests a moon rising over the sea, creating a dialogue between light and water and showcasing the inspiration that master artisans take from both elements. An identical example of each vessel is displayed around the sides of the pool.
