About the Thematic Pavillion

The Sea Pavilion invites visitors into a shifting ecology of value, where objects drift between treasure and trash, ownership and abandonment. Spread across Malta’s coasts, heritage sites, and underwater zones, the pavilion treats the sea as both stage and metaphor for circulation, loss, and rediscovery. Working with artists and local partners, it transforms discarded materials into works that question how worth is assigned, stolen, or dissolved. By dispersing artworks and inverting visibility – sometimes submerging pieces entirely – the pavilion mirrors the fluidity of maritime space, revealing value as something always in motion, never fixed, and continually renegotiated.
