Venice, in good and in bad, in destiny and in Maurizio Pellegrin's life (1956). Venice, the city where he was born, lives, arrives, remains, departs, returns, alternating with New York. With a wide selection of works and the project Isole for the museums of Venice, this volume documents twenty-seven years of artistic creativity, among collections of fragments and objects that become universes organized by symbols and assonant metaphors, originating from differing countries and cultures. The works are arranged around numeric valences and in few colors adhering to Oriental traditions. And one after one, they are film, design, photography, sculpture, painting, installation.
