Virtual wrecking balls and floods – the finale of Corpora in Si(gh)te in Venice

Posted by PeterFuchs on January 5th, 2009, filed in development diary

Corpora in Si(gh)te finished its evolving process in Venice, and the organism is being dismantled from the rich Venice environment-soil and about to being replanted in some of the most prestigious exhibition venues around Europe where is was invited during Architectural Exhibition – including the Transmadiale in Belrin 2009.

The dismantle process was not without hindering obstacles, as during this final phase of deconstruction, severe floods were invading Venice and the equipment was had to be preserved, but the curator and his assistants managed to keep the stuff dry if not themselves.
