MA AT – Types of Venice, SoSe 2023

Over the years, Venice has been, and continues to be, frequently copied and reproduced, from casinos in Las Vegas to Macau to the theme parks in China. Images of such copies get mixed up with the countless representations of the original. They all produce tourist expectations, which in turn reflect back on the Italian city.

In ‚TYPES OF VENICE’ you will investigate contemporary phenomena relating to Venice and its copies in an artistic visual way.  

TYPES OF VENICE“ is an exploration of travel and the appropriation of imaginations of the foreign and thus the supposedly familiar. As part of your artistic study, you will conduct interviews with tourists and locals and identify their remarkable ideas about the city. You will translate these artistically into different types of Venice.
