What is the identity of the huge "arm" that supports the building that emerged from the capital of the city of Venice of Water?



The city of Italy Venice is sometimes called "the capital of water" because there are canals running longitudinally and laterally throughout the city. A stone statue imitating the two huge arms carved by Italian artist Lorenzo Quinn on a hotel facing the canal of such a city of water Venice "Support"Was set up, and a mysterious sight of supporting the hotel from underwater came to be seen.

Two huge white arms "Support" that appeared from the canal of Venice look like this. The building that this arm supports is a building of the mixed style of the 14th century Bisantin and Gothic "Ca 'Sagredo Hotel" that it is also a cultural sight.


Ca 'Sagredo Hotel is located in the following places on Google Maps.


Regarding the city of Venice, the latest weather fluctuation report has been reported that if the pace of water rise due to global warming does not change, it will be completely submerged within the first century. Mr. Quinn's work symbolizes such a crisis approaching Venice and shows the sight that the hotel is preventing sinking into the canal. Moreover, it can also visually understand the rise of the water level by existence of arms extending from the water surface.

Looking at the photo of the work at the stage of production published by Mr. Quinn, the contents seem to be hollow.

The installation seems to be done in a way that "the work raised by the crane is adjusted by the work team on board the ship". Work took place from 8 o'clock in the morning until late at night. In addition, "Support" is in a condition that anyone can visit Venice, it is a limited-time exhibit until November 26, 2017.

Could not finish today ... 8 am start. Come visit. Thanks to the team for a great job # venicebiennale2017 # halcyongallery # lorenzoquinn # venezia # lorenzoquinnartist # LorenzoQuinnVenice
