Marisa Argentato and Pasquale Pennacchio worked on the theme of what is natural and artificial with regards to audio environment. For this reason, they constructed a wooden structure that resembles a bus stop , positioned parallel to the adjacent street of the Centre Civico. The structure, made primarily of wood, was constructed by a carpenter from Giudecca and hosts a dolby sound system that emits bird sounds. A thick pvc sheet covers the sound system but, due to its transparency, also reveals the artificial sound. Naturally this transparency makes the installation permeable to the gaze of the viewer that confuses it with the real space of the garden.
