Acqua Alta references the sinking of Venice and the relationship the island has with water.

One of the cities chosen by the collective for the series Inventory is Venice, the historical layer of the importance of streets in the city. When objects in Manhattan have a history going back 100 years, and objects in Kadıköy going back 20 years, in Venice it is possible to experience street objects from the middle ages. In the wells and fountains of Venice, less human interruption can be seen in comparison to other works. Most of the wells and fountains in the city are remnants of a great cultural heritage created by craftsmen and artisans.

Oddviz

Oddviz Collective was founded by architect Çağrı Taşkın, artist Erdal İnci and engineer Serkan Kaptan in the summer of 2016 to produce works by using new scanning techniques. Embracing photogrammetry as their main tool of production the trio made their debut with a work titled “Hotel” through an article published in Time Magazine the spring of 2017: “These artists are giving photography a new dimension.” The collective worked independently and focused their works on visual arts for the past two years. They pushed the boundaries of photogrammetry with their documentary “El Orfelinato” and a three-dimensional documentation of CANAN’s work in Arter. They spent a big part of 2018 working for their exhibition “Inventory”.
