THE LAST SUPPER

Interactive installation, 2023.
CNR-ISMAR, Palazzina Canonica, Venice..

This work represents the culmination of interdisciplinary research, merging art and science through collaboration with Dr. Fabio Trincardi, director of the CNR Science Department. In the installation, viewers engage directly by holding open the refrigerator door and seeing themselves live on a monitor. Two internal cameras create a visual loop that confronts participants with their own actions. Inside the refrigerator, audiences encounter real fish from the Venice lagoon, preserved as if they were consumer products, disregarding their sentient nature. Venice frequently experiences mass fish deaths, with mullets surfacing and dying due to oxygen depletion.
