ANDORRA (Correos de Espana) issued this First Day Cover for Venice Biennale, "The Future is Now," in 2019. The Venice Biennale is one of the world’s oldest, most important and prestigious contemporary art exhibitions.
Andorra participated with its own pavilion for the fifth time, providing a provocative and speculative fiction theme titled “The Future Is Now,” in which the French-born artist Philippe Shangti shakes the collective consciousness with his vision of the world. It is a fragmented installation of bits and pieces which should be examined separately to understand this multidisciplinary project: a criticism of exacerbated consumerism and its effects.
The stamp shows the main work, in which the goddess of oxygen appears, where the artist transmits his disillusionment, leading him to imagine, for example, that one day oxygen could be a luxury.
Philippe Shangti creates a critical discourse about human abuse of the earth, a protest against the misuse of resources and the excessive consumerism of modern society. An invitation to reconsider the consumerist present which is leading us to an unpleasantly near, uncertain future.
