The Observer review of the 57th Venice Biennale opens with Taus Makhacheva Tightrope, 2015. ‘High in the Caucasian mountains, beneath a canopy of blazing blue sky, a tightrope walker inches between two peaks. Nothing prevents him from plummeting but his own skill – and the curious prop of a picture’. Text by Laura Cumming.
