Venice as a symbol of the Anthropocene: a city built on water, with and despite water, fragile yet resilient.
Exhibition
Venezia
Venezia Contemporanea & La Storta Ghetto Vecchio, Venice, Italy
January 2nd to January 15th, 2024
A 500 years old building in the old ghetto: layers of bricks have witnessed hight tides, submerging Venice and retreating.
In August 2023, UNESCO recommended adding Venice to the endangered heritage list.
A set of three paintings on silk crepeline made with natural pigments evokes the pristine lagoon, while black and white photographs and a mini photo-book entitled “ Phantom Venice ” denounce over-tourism.
“ I came to Venice because of its fragility. - But we are all fragile! Life is fragile. - Yes, I think I will work about fragility.”
