Daniel Libeskind's 'Sonnets in Babylon' is a visionary work. It depicts an imaginary Babylon in over 100 poetic drawings that have been screen-printed on backlit glass panels. According to the principle of 'ut pictura poesis', drawing is the equivalent of poetic verse: it pushes the boundaries of the graphic so as to inspire, tell a story, to convey the experience of images. Libeskind's work for the Venice Pavilion is "a meditation on the origins and destiny of form in architecture", as Libeskind wrote himself.
