Venice:

 
 
Laguna Come immagini sia la laguna sott'acqua?
(How do you imagine the lagoon underwater?)
(a work in three parts)
2003
coloured chalk, paraffin wax, photocopies using Minolta relief method
 
 

 

 
 

Claudia Losi asked a group of children to draw an orange chalk outline of Venice's lagoon, knowing that part of the chalk will disperse into the surrounding such that it stains the sites temporarily. She also asked to people living in Giudecca island how do they imagine the venice lagoon is under water, collecting and exhibiting the answers. In addition, from a porthole in the terrace of the Centro Civico, it will be possible to see a fusion in wax in the form of the lagoon, like a desire to raise awareness, to both herself and to her residents, the precious orography of this place, from which Venice originated.
