Background information
"In 2013, The Holy See participated for the first time in la Biennale di Venezia with a pavilion inspired by 'Book of Genesis'. For the second of the interlinked exhibition trio named 'Creazione', 'De-Creazione' and 'Ri-Creazione', the Vatican approached the photographer Josef KOUDELKA. The photo volume 'Decreazione' in accordeon format accompanied the exhibition of nine large format panoramic photographs speaking about 'the opposition of man to the world and to moral and natural laws, and material destruction deriving from the loss of ethical meaning'."
