Where the Flow Ends: Mass Collective at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025

A collective photographic journey from the River Severn to the heart of Venice.

We’ve just returned from the opening preview days of the Venice Architecture Biennale, where Where the Flow Ends is now officially open to the public at the Arsenale. Here’s some behind the scenes of the time spent together at the pre-opening events.

This project has taken us from the shifting landscapes of the River Severn to the historic heart of Venice, where our collaborative photographic work sits alongside some of the most exciting voices in global architecture and art. Where the Flow Ends brings together eight unique visual perspectives, each responding to the changing shape and significance of the Severn as both a natural and industrial force.

To see the work situated within this year’s Biennale theme – Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective. – has been highly rewarding and gave us to see Venice buzzed with conversations across disciplines, with artists, architects, curators, and curious wanderers.

We’re proud to be part of this international dialogue and to represent our collective vision on such a relevant exhibition.

If you're in Venice between now and November 23, 2025, come see the project at the Arsenale.
