Andrea Liberovici / Paolo Zavagna - Sounds of Venice number two

Sound Of Venice Number Two, a project that originates from an apparently absurd question: how can Venice be moved to Mestre? And, if the Soprintendenza were to allow us the opportunity to transport one single “object” from the city, what would we choose? The sounds of Venice, as unique as the city that produ- ces them, will thus be the objects with which we will work in order to create a sound installation in Piazzale Divisione Acqui. 
The various fixed media will consist of tableaux and will recount the history and the present of Venice through sounds representative of the city’s current reality and of its memories, not only in their original form but also by means of processed and manipulated sounds and electro-acoustic compositions.
This project draws on existing recordings from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries; for earlier epochs we have created sound objects and soundscapes inspired by paintings, documents and music scores from the historical heritage of Venice.
