The performative intervention Absolute Resemblance Cannot be Guaranteed takes place during the opening days of the Biennale. It is live-streamed through the Bevkov square’s webcam, which has been installed as part of GO! 2025. The performance questions what it means to broadcast cultural happenings, and to allow people to be unwittingly observed. It critically examines these apparatuses by destabilising the physical order and the social matrix of the square by re-purposing material and immaterial components inherent to the square. Through speculative cryptic colouration (camouflage) methods, the artist alters his physical and behavioural characteristics by deploying a disruptive colouration suit and moves extremely slowly across the square.

Keit Bonnici, born in 1991 in Malta, is a transdisciplinary artist and designer who studied in Malta, London, and Vienna. His conceptual research is embedded in critical-speculative thinking and an assemblage of designing objects, situations, and narratives that question space's social, political, and cultural territories. He investigates the production and consumption of spatial domains, positioning the work within surreal materialisation and radical situational insertions. He propagates this by decoding colonial systems, hegemonic narratives, and structural inequalities.

Performativna intervencija Absolutne podobnosti ni mogoče zagotoviti poteka med otvoritvenimi dnevi bienala. Prenaša se v živo prek spletne kamere na Bevkovem trgu, ki je nameščena kot del GO! 2025. Performans odpira vprašanja, kaj pomeni prenašati kulturno dogajanje in ob tem snemati in opazovati tudi ljudi. Te mehanizme preučuje na kritičen način, in sicer z destabilizacijo fizičnega reda in družbene matrice trga s preoblikovanjem njegovih materialnih in nematerialnih komponent. Umetnik, ki se po trgu premika izjemno počasi, z metodo spekulativne kriptične koloracije (kamuflaže) spreminja svoje fizične in vedenjske značilnosti z uporabo disruptivne koloracijske obleke.

Keit Bonnici, rojen leta 1991 na Malti, je transdisciplinarni umetnik in oblikovalec. Študiral je na Malti, v Londonu in na Dunaju. Njegovo konceptualno raziskovanje je vpeto v kritično-spekulativno mišljenje, izraža se skozi nabor objektov, situacij in naracij, ki prevprašujejo družbene, politične in kulturne dimenzije prostora. Raziskuje produkcijo in uporabo prostorskih domen, svoja dela umešča znotraj nadrealne materializacije in radikalnih situacijskih interpolacij, s tem pa prispeva k dekodiranju kolonialnih sistemov, hegemonističnih naracij in strukturnih neenakosti.
