Vicky Polak: I Dreamt the Streets were Made of Water

Working across photography, film, and visual anthropology, Vicky Polak's practice explores the relationship between the body, memory, geography, and inherited narratives. In the exhibition, curated by Julia Terzano, the works move through fluid thresholds between land and water, presence and absence, transforming the image into a space of listening, ritual, and sedimentation.

In Venice, Polak’s research engages with the rhythms of the lagoon and the Adriatic, shaping a journey in which the landscape becomes a living archive of longing, return, and family roots.
