FLUVIALE conveys the genesis of a river from the pure waters of the rains. FLUVIALE integrates the four basic elements of nature as if stone, water, fire and air have merged into one river of flowing fire-light. The work interprets and responds to the theme of the Italy Pavilion, AILATI: Reflections of the Future, by literally projecting reflections upon the architecture of Venice for the 12th International Architecture Biennale. FLUVIALE (‘river-like’), conceived for the Rio del’Arsenal in Venice, was shown in the Italy Pavilion on the final day of the 2010 Biennale. The word FLUVIALE is interpreted into 3 movements:
1.Corsi / Passages FLUVIALE begins with the river challenging the architecture, cleansing the architecture and reawakening history, an ending that proclaims a new beginning.
2. Genesi / Genesis FLUVIALE continues with the genesis of the river from the pure waters of the rains. Fluviale integrates the four basic elements of nature as if stone, water, fire and air have merged into one river of flowing fire-light.
3. Riflessi / Reflections FLUVIALE ends as a river composed entirely of flowing text reflected in both Italian and English. One line is readable upon the wall, while the translation appears upside down and readable as a reflection in the canal.
