Protected in a tidal estuary from barbarian invaders and Byzantine overlords, the fishermen, salt gatherers and traders who settled in Venice crafted an amphibious way of life. This work recreates this world-turned-upside-down, with its waterways rather than roads, its boats tethered alongside dwellings, and its livelihood harvested from the sea.
