Venice au naturel

Nature acts as a major temporary art theater in which Venice plays the role of a protagonist, and spectators are part of this story by touring and witnessing how a big natural curtain (sky and sea) slowly closes, merging into one.
The proposed element highlights the water border that vertically divides the city into two parts: above and below it. It reveals the urban context by proposing an original dialogue, a new exhibition, an always existing museum in which Venice is inserted. It improves the connection between the city’s history, its present and future by promoting a critical evolution of its architectural historiography. By slowly navigating through Venice’s waters in its unique and special way, it exposes the city’s biggest phenomenon; its sinking.
