A pumping system takes water from the San Pietro Canal and routes it through glass pipes and tanks, where it releases its silt content before being channeled back where it came from. The work by Lara Fluxà is an organism uses water and glass to interact with the past and present substrata of Venice. LLIM (Catalan for ‘silt’) is a performance on matter and a reflection on water and glass as two elements that cannot exist without one another, two faces of the same landscape that is natural and cultural at once.
