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 and backlit. 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, to 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 himself wrote: "Drawing is a magical world. The source of all building and its immortal shadow. A world of imagination and fantasy, without a predetermined direction or any obvious starting point. A world without words, ideologies, nationalities or borders; connecting us through forms to the Invisible."

The Sonnets in Babylon, 101 of Libeskind hand drawings, stand together in the exhibition as one canvas, without apparent order or hierarchy. They establish the keystones of 101 scenarios pointing to an unexpected future of Architecture.
