La Laguna Resiste
(2023-26)
Annually, 30,000,000 visitors submerge a dwindling population of 50,000 inhabitants. Without a local population to safeguard this environment, it is likely to deteriorate.
The project explores three key interrelated issues: environmental breakdown, de-population and mass tourism by highlighting local inhabitants who are creating solutions and changes through various acts of community resistance. The photographic research amplifies the presence of Venice’s inhabitants through a series of image-based interventions.
The project aims to engage and inform the wider public, tourists, local decision-makers about these initiatives. La Laguna Resiste challenges the city’s postcard perspective and emphasises that Venice and the lagoon are interdependent elements of a single ecosystem.
