Foreigners Everywhere: an overview of Claire Fontaine's installation at the Venice Biennale On the occasion of the 60th International Venice Biennale, Mennour presents a glimpse of Claire Fontaine installation at its space in Matignon. *Stranieri Ovunque - Foreigners Everywhere*, the title of the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, is drawn from a series of works started in 2004 by the Paris-born and Palermo-based Claire Fontaine collective. The works consist of neon sculptures in different colours that render in a growing number of languages the words “Foreigners Everywhere”. The phrase comes, in turn, from the name of a Turin collective who fought racism and xenophobia in Italy in the early 2000s. As Adriano Pedrosa, curator of the Biennale, explains: “The expression Stranieri Ovunque has several meanings. First of all, that wherever you go and wherever you are you will always encounter foreigners— they/we are everywhere. Secondly, that no matter where you find yourself, you are always truly, and deep down inside, a foreigner”. *Foreigners Everywhere* embodies the nuances ambivalence inherent in its title, referencing the languages spoken in different countries. It also deconstructs the established hierarchy between visual and verbal expression. For Amanda Carneiro: “These sculptures serve both as a factual statement against and a countermeasure to potential racist threats. It evokes a palpable sense of estrangement experienced by individuals navigating a globalized society – a sentiment relatable to immigrants and other marginalized groups”.
