The ethereal sculpture Mist, 2014 set at the threshold of Jaume Plensa's exhibition ‘Together’ at the basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. The installation was a collateral event of the 56th International Venice Biennale. And won the Global Fine Art Award for the Best Public Outdoor Installation in 2015. “Mist is formed from the image of a real girl of chinese-spanish origin who has crossed multiple borders, and she offers a place of calm while linking us to a global community. For centuries, Venice has been a mercantile city, particularly connecting East and West, a place for travellers and for exchange in all its multiplicity.” Extract from ‘Between the Shadow and the Soul’ by Clare Lilley. — Mist — Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice — 2014 — Jaume Plensa
