Altered Frequencies: When Golden Goose Dreamt in Technicolor

Altered Frequencies: When Golden Goose Dreamt in Technicolor

Dina Yassin

Venice has always been about illusions. Reflections off water. Churches that feel like paintings. Tourists who think they’re locals after three Aperol spritzes. But this May, in the industrial heartbeat of Marghera, Golden Goose offered a different illusion. One stitched in cinema, wired in memory, and projected like a fever dream across steel and shadow.

The Biennale of Architecture 2025 opened with something unexpected. Altered States by Marco Brambilla, hosted at Golden Goose’s cultural haven, HAUS. And if you were expecting a fashion brand to play it safe, you haven’t been paying attention.

Brambilla doesn’t exhibit art. He hijacks your subconscious. He takes the fragments, Hollywood frames, media static, memory loops, and turns them into emotional architecture. Curated by Jérôme Sans, the show became a sensory wormhole. You weren’t just looking at visuals. You were walking through a collective hallucination. Cinema, unspooled and reassembled. Nostalgia, edited with precision and sound.

At HAUS, art isn’t boxed into white walls. It spills. It hums. It dares you to stop intellectualizing and just feel. One minute you’re watching film clips swirl into infinity, the next you’re questioning whether your memories are even yours anymore. That’s the Brambilla effect. Hypnotic. Humbling. High-voltage.

The crowd that night? Chaos, culture, couture. Amybeth McNulty floated past in soft light. Pratibha Ranta and Lorenzo Sutto deep in conversation with Fabrizio Plessi. Museum heads brushing shoulders with Olympic skate stars like Keegan Palmer and Cory Juneau. Padel champ Marta Ortega leaned into the scene like she owned it. Meanwhile, Michelin-starred Paolo Griffa staged a sensory symphony in the kitchen. If food could narrate a surrealist film, this was it.

But HAUS wasn’t built just for spectacle, but for substance. HAUS Week followed with workshops, panels, and playgrounds for curious minds. DJ lessons next to sneaker labs. Public speaking next to screen printing. Golden Goose sold luxury by teaching you how to make it, remix it, repair it, and reimagine it.

Because what HAUS is doing, quietly and steadily, is redefining what a fashion brand can be. It puts community on the same level as craft. Turns shopping into something more tactile, more intentional. And blurs the lines between making, learning, and imagining what comes next.

And Altered States fit right in. The work doesn’t beg to be liked. It asks you to surrender. To watch, and maybe even remember something you didn’t know you’d forgotten. The exhibition is cinematic poetry rendered in pixels. It whispers about media, memory, and the ghosts of meaning hiding in the mainstream. It reminds you that dreams are built like buildings. Layered. Labyrinthine. Not always meant to be explained.

Golden Goose calls its community Dreamers. And for once, it doesn’t feel like a tagline. It feels earned. There’s a belief here that art isn’t precious, it’s felt. That flaws aren’t flaws at all. That what’s real leaves a mark.

So here’s what you need to know: Altered States is open. HAUS is alive. The dream is bigger than sneakers and sharper than nostalgia. And in Marghera, the future of fashion just blinked awake with its eyes full of static and story.
