Paper collage, acrylics on cement and resin
This paper collage and painted sculpture is a tribute to the Teatro del Mondo by Aldo Rossi (1931-97). Dramas and other performances were held in this floating theatre amid journeys throughout the Venice Biennale, 1979-80. The architect used the discourse of travelling and stage to signify life journeys for his passengers. This sculpture examines the duality of realism and fantasy through the toy-like theatre, much like the great tradition of modern Italian cinema.
Other than Venice, showboats could be located from the major rivers of the US to the waterways of Southeast Asia in the past.
