A digital booklet which is a collection of the photographs taken during the field work on Quello che vede l’acqua.
Quello che vede l’acqua is a work of field research on the contemporary city of Venice consisting of a collection of sound, visual and tactile materials expressed mainly through body movement and dance and dealing with what is reemerging at the margins of this city, before the neo-liberal capital returns to the machine beat of commerce and production. The booklet is a digital collection of the incredible photographs taken during the field work, the texts used for the podcast and all the field notes.

Alessandro Conti
Budding performer and technician, in 2013 he graduated from the scuola del Teatro Metastasio di Prato, and is one of the founders of the company Prospettiva Capaneo with which he won the 2014 prize Giovani in scena with his performance in Leonce e Lena. Conti has always been keenly interested in the effects of hyper-connectivity on our society and in 2018 he completed a three year “Laurea” in New Technologies in Art at the Accademia ABAC. Currently, he is attending the Masters course in Theatre and Performing Arts at the IUAV in Venice. In search of a time different from our own, his days are divided between work in the theatre and studying at his desk.
