The image displays an indoor art exhibition in Venice, Italy, featuring Marina Abramović's installation "Double Edge (1995/2026)." In the foreground and central right, a modern spiral staircase art piece stands, constructed from dark wood and steel, characterized by flat, sharp, knife-like steps. This installation rests on a dark, circular platform. Behind the artwork, a traditional stone or concrete spiral staircase with an ornate metal railing and chain is visible, ascending in the background, suggesting the historic architecture of the building. A white informational plaque on a black stand is positioned in the foreground left. The text, presented in both Italian and English, details the artwork. It describes "Double Edge" as a new iteration of a 1995 work, which transforms the familiar form of a ladder with knives, creating an object with a "foreboding sense of danger and restraint." The plaque quotes Abramović, stating that ladders symbolize "various levels of physical, human or spiritual development" and architectural structures remind us of "traveling into different mental states." It also notes that an edition of the work was part of the 2002 "House with the Ocean View" installation. The setting appears to be a museum or gallery, likely during the daytime, with no individuals visible.
