This episode of Magical Fresh & Salty Conversations features the artist and STARTS resident Sonia Levy in conversation with Erika Balsom, a London-based scholar and critic working on cinema, art, and their intersection. During their STARTS residency, Sonia Levy and her collaborators, environmental anthropologist Heather Swanson, ecologist Meredith Root Bernstein, and landscape architect Alexandra Arènes, looked at the Venetian Lagoon through the lens of nature-based solutions to mitigate flood risks. What issues arise from Venice’s long history of taming its waterscape? With a shared commitment to noticing more-than-human worlds, the group strived to forge their own understanding of the controversies arising from the lagoon’s water management.
In Sonia’s eyes, lagoons are fascinating places to think about the meeting of different bodies of water - fresh and saltwater. Filming underwater became a way to get to know the ephemeral world of the lagoon and its processes of transformation in the hope that this submerged perspective might also bring about speculative approaches to policy change.

(Gremese Editore, 2013) che ci racconta come la città sia stata e continui a essere un set affascinante per registi di ogni epoca e geografia; la regista Gaia Vianello ci racconta il progetto "Rete Cinema in Laguna", che ripensa collettivamente la città a partire dal cinema; e Edoardo Aruta, ideatore insieme a Paolo Rosso, del "Cinema Galleggiante", rassegna di cinema all’aperto che si svolge completamente sulle acque della laguna di Venezia.
