Water is the pointed auditive motive in Venezia. On the basis of recordings from Venice and from the heads of Kocher river in Baden-Württemberg, the sound of the water undergoes analysis in regard to its acoustic and aesthetic properties. Vases, each of them fitted with a loudspeaker inside its base, have been arranged in a row and a group in the space. As individual bodies of sound, the vases enable the selective auditory perception of sources that densify and overlay to form the parameters of an aggregate sound pattern that steps forward then backward, auditively guiding the listener through the space.
