Artist Simone Post transforms candy into contemporary art, creating immersive installations that blur the line between sweetness, memory and impermanence. Her colorful works, developed through handcrafted compositions made entirely of candies and sugary materials, explore the fragile nature of joy and human experience. Her practice stands out for its playful yet sophisticated visual language, where everyday objects become large-scale artistic environments rich in texture, color and emotional impact.
During the 2026 Venice Biennale, Simone Post presents her new installation within Still Joy - From Ukraine into the World at Palazzo Contarini Polignac. The work fills the historic Venetian space with candy-made chandeliers and decorative elements that slowly change over time, reflecting on beauty as something temporary and delicate.
Through her candy installations, Simone Post creates a dreamlike atmosphere that captures visitors between wonder and reflection, turning sugar into a powerful artistic medium capable of speaking about resilience, fragility and collective emotion.
