Fishing For Fishies was born during the Arteria Festival curated
by Sabina Oroshi in collaboration with the Lapidarium Museum in
Novigrad, Croatia. It is an underwater sculpture previously realised
for the culinary installation Fishing Without Fish and subsequently
placed near the delta of the river Mirna during a one-day workshop
in which it was possible to discuss the ecological aspects that
characterise and unite the Venice Lagoon and the Mirna delta
area. Made with materials from the river and components that are
nutritious for the local fauna, the sculpture aims to energise fish,
birds and organisms that have suffered from rapid changes over the
years, such as intensive fishing, water pollution, the breeding of new
species, morphological changes by humans and alterations in sea.
