SEAWARD PILGRIMAGE OF AN ARTISAN FISHERMAN / VENETIAN ALGAE FISH FARM / HELENA E. HOWARD
The proposal represents a meaningful journey from the abandoned island of Torcello to the open sea.
As Fishermen embark beneath tensile mesh canopies and across the marshlands of Languna Veneta, their arrival at a bountiful pool of fish, bring back industry to the ghost island, once alive with people and trade. An algae farm located at the North end of the proposal serves the purpose of attracting fish to the lagoon, and to provide energy to illuminate tensile meshes by night. Annually, costumed festival guests, dance, sing and march in procession, along undulating walkways, towards a pavilion looking out at the open sea in celebration of Venice’s fishermen and women.
