About the Thematic Pavillion

Repertoire in Intermedial Mode presents Francesco Bertel.’s immersive exploration of borders, bodies, and digital perception. Through video, virtual reality, and site‑specific actions carried out along Malta’s coastline, the artist investigates how technology and geography shape our understanding of movement and identity. At the pavilion’s centre is #REL1=OFF, a new work created in Malta that transforms a climbing journey into a panoramic video fresco, blending reality and technological hallucination. Together with the VR installation Hic sunt dracones, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on migration, transformation, and the shifting boundaries that define contemporary life.

Please note that due to the historical layout of the Birgu Old Armoury building, we are unable to accommodate access to persons with limited mobility.
