Funeral of Venice

360 VR video


Nowadays, there are more and more voices and proposals that "Venice is disappearing or dying", with the majority of people turning a blind eye to the rising sea levels and to the increasing disorganization and dissipation of the local community and culture. This project aims to bring renewed attention to this dying city. If we do lose this aquatic treasure in the future, how will it be missed? Through a critical design approach, the project hopes to evoke a reflection on the situation in Venice and to take steps to protect it.

“It’s a thinking machine that allows us to ponder the very idea of the city, citizenship practices, urban life as sediments of history, as the experience of the here and now, as well as a project for a possible future.”
