Chiara Faggionato – Ardeidae, 13:20, 2015



 

In collaboration with: Daniele Tucci, Corrado Chiatti

A group of Asian tourists arrives at the Venice lagoon for a stay and starts a journey inside the territory, led by an audio guide. The off-screen description of Venice as we know it clashes with the scenery of ruins and desolation on the screen. Knowing that this city could probably disappear in a few decades helps to perceive such a vision as real and credible.
