What are the fishers today "called" to do? To save the sea from pollution? The migrants from shipwrecks? And are we not all "fishers" to an extent? Three "strange" dolphins arrive in Darsena as a plea made to all of us.
The project intends to recall a renowned Byzantine mosaic of Ravenna: a dolphin depicted on the panel titled The Call of Peter and Andrew in the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo. The tesserae are made of no longer used CD and DVD discs intended for recycling, which are, instead, given a new life through this project.
