From May through mid-June 2026, stretching from the Comédie de Genève to Villa du Parc in Annemasse, the Biennale follows the Green Way and explores the natural resources shaping our territories, infrastructures and imaginaries.

Installations, videos, sculptures, instructional works and performances invite visitors to look differently at what flows through everyday life: sand, soil, water, energy, minerals, vegetation, infrastructures and invisible networks.

Spread across public space, Léman Express train stations, the Comédie de Genève, and the Villa du Parc, the Biennale offered a journey that visitors could explore on foot, by bike, or via public transportation.

This edition was very well received by the public, with many visitors along the entire length of the Green Way. The events organized alongside the exhibition brought together artists, researchers, urban planners, geologists, and specialists from various fields to spark discussions about the resources found in the heart of Geneva and Lake Geneva. The Biennale invited everyone to reflect on our relationship with raw materials, landscapes, and the invisible systems that shape our contemporary lives.

A Biennale rooted in a transforming territory

This third edition takes shape along the Green Way, an infrastructure born from the construction of the Léman Express. What was once a large excavation site has become a corridor for soft mobility, biodiversity and public circulation.

The Biennale focuses on natural resources: their extraction, circulation, transformation and impact on living environments. Rather than delivering fixed answers, the artworks open spaces for attention, questioning and discussion.

A grain of sand enlarged to monumental scale, immersive mining landscapes, real-time visualizations of air circulation or installations built from industrial materials shift our perception of what seems familiar.
