French Pavilion: Comme Saturne – Yto Barrada

In the middle of the pavilion stands a huge stone phallus. Yto Barrada says it is about replacement and generations: Saturn ate his children so none could succeed him. Nearby sit balls she made from her dog's hair, after old images of Saturn flanked by balls and a dog.

You walk through four rooms. In the first, the outline of the colour-of-time dress from Jacques Demy's Peau d'Âne is sewn onto a wool curtain, and the wool hung in the Hall of Folds bleaches in the daylight over the run. Puns are screen-printed along the picture rails, an Oulipo-style wheel of rules sits in the big room, and a TV in the work room plays Tex Avery's Billy Boy.

The Art Newspaper's French edition found it "un peu trop crypté", a bit too coded, and PaintandPainting said the quotations make it look like "a simple exercise in style". It's in the Giardini, covered by the €30 Biennale ticket, Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm, until 22 November.
