Venice sub spotted

The Enigma · 09-25-09, 03:52 PM

Hi,

I just came back from a trip to Venice Italy.
Couldn't believe my eyes, so I was glad to have a camera with me.

Are they under attack by the Russians?

Alexander Ponomarev's art piece "SubTiziano" will be in Venice for the next several months participating in the 53rd Venice Biennale.

Wow, that's a fast reply.
So it's a piece of art then.

Looks like someone slapped a half a Foxtrot sail backwards on a kilo

That's what you get when you park it where the kids can get at it.

Looks like a Bravo.

After looking at the picture for a while, I wonder if it is a real sub.
Are the channels of Venice deep enough for a real sub?

Maybe it's just the upper part of a sub

I'm just scraping the bottom of the barrell of my memory, amazing the crud that gets stuck down here, but I think the artwork is just the upper hull on a shallow bottomed boat. Something like that. I remember seeing this art or something very much like it in a fountain in St Petersburg or something.

Well researched Oberon

I was wondering how long the reality would remain unknown
