Bottom of the paintbrush holder (2008-17 February 2013) and bottom of the lagoon (rio Sartori, 17 February 2013)

Work description and interpretation
Two glass containers with a capacity of 500 ml each contain respectively: the sludgy bottom of the Venetian lagoon and the sludgy bottom of my paintbrush holder. The substance that accumulates on the lagoon bed is like the one at the bottom of my paintbrush holder. The substance consists of the residues, of what remains of the experience, and is formed over time, leaving a trace of its passage. Here there is no superimposition: everything is mixed.
