Mariapia Bellis
Mariapia thought of companion objects, 4 Sounds and 3 Visions, hidden in a pocket or hand, one for each district of Venice.
“A companion object that sounds, discreetly, that can be caressed like an amulet, that can be taken out like a binocular not to focus on distant details, but to multiply and distort the views of the city, or invent new ones. The memory of a city to take to other cities and with which to walk other streets…”
In this city of words, noises, uproars, and rare silences, of wonderful, secret, and unexpected visions, you can discover and understand the districts of Venice and the 7 places that inspired Mariapia when she lived in Venice, immersed in the sun or fog.
