Laguna sensa turbio

The “Valli da Pesca” are man-made stretches of the Venetian lagoon with unusually clear water, created by fishermen so that they could see the fish better.

/The work

Laguna sensa turbio brings out exactly these stretches of brackish water, describing them through the depths of the sea bed beneath them, with plates of different colours, shapes and sizes.

Alongside the print, a vector image of the Venetian lagoon was made, with the corresponding stretch of sea bed picked out in red.
