The Rape of Venice: Andrea Morucchio
Andrea Morucchio
2015
The Rape of Venice was the title of a multimedia installation project by the venetian artist Andrea Morucchio. It was part of Muve Contemporaneo, an exhibition involving the languages of contemporary art that the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia displayed in its museums during the Biennale Internazionale d’Arte 2015. It involved a multimedia installation in Palazzo Mocenigo, Venezia comprising different elements such as, an overlaid printed floor, an audio track, video projections, and the diffusion of a fragrance. Through the synergy of a series of heterogeneous elements, in terms of technique and language, The Rape of Venice encouraged the public to reflect on the present conditions confronting Venice today, its decline, and its relentless transformation into a theme-park for millions of tourists. The catalogue features texts by Matteo Bertellè, Vittorio Urbani, and Marco Vidal.
