façade that the Grand Canal usually offers visitors - Duff
explained - It focused on the membrane that both unites
and separates the public dimension from the private one,
highlighting the distance between the privilege of having
access to an intimate, and therefore inaccessible, space
and the public gloriication of the privilege itself”.
“An observer may have therefore experienced a
physical and palpable relationship with the projected
image, created by green lasers. A saturation of the
Venetian urban landscape in contrast with the sight of a
continued façade that the Grand Canal normally offers
visitors - arthur Duff continued - from the minute the
Palazzo Malipiero garden creates a dimension that is
at once private and public given the ine line between
the two spaces. The work, therefore, highlights the
membrane that unites and separates the two dimensions
and seeks to highlight the distance between the privilege
to enter into an intimate space, thus inaccessible, while
publicly glorifying the privilege itself.”
In this case, though, the artist turns the building’s
surface into a screen onto which he may project his
message and interact with the passing audience on
the Grand Canal.
