WATCH: New artwork floating in Venice canals
New artwork has been added to the city’s canal collection
The floating city of Venice now has a new claim to fame, with a giant floating fresco sailing through the canals.
The work of a French-Swiss graffiti artist is a close-up of two people’s hands holding each other.
The artist says his work is part of a global project, designed to promote “Finding common solutions” to the problems humanity faces.
Floating through the Venetian canals, he adds this is symbolic of the fragile times we are living through given “Venice is a city that floats on water” at the mercy of climate change.
The city is gradually sinking
In 2019, Venice experienced the second-worst flood in history with fears of the increasing impact of climate change.
Venice’s layout, built on log piles among cannels, makes the city vunrable to climate change. Especially as the rising sea levels are leading to the gradual inundating of the 1,600-year-old city.
According to a recent study published by the European Geosciences Union, Venice’s worst-case scenario for the rise in sea level by the end of the century is 120 centimetres.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
