“At the Austrian Pavilion, a naked performer acted as a human bell clapper in Florentina Holzinger’s “Seaworld Venice.””
SINGLE SOURCE
Multiple sources confirm that Florentina Holzinger's 'Seaworld Venice' is the presentation at the Austrian Pavilion for the 2026 Venice Biennale. However, while one web search result mentions an image of Holzinger 'suspended upside down', none of the provided evidence explicitly describes a naked performer acting as a human bell clapper. The specific detail of the 'human bell clapper' is not corroborated by the provided evidence.

The web search results discuss 'Emotional Intelligence (EI)' and 'Environmental Health and Safety (EHS)' rather than the artist Ei Arakawa-Nash or the Japanese Pavilion's specific installations. No evidence regarding baby dolls or caregiving was found in the provided text.
