MONDAY 13/11 WALLS AND BRIDGES
Celia + Carla
  • we chose this bridge because it has an incomparable symbolic significance in the history of China. Its purpose was to protect the country from external aggression, but it also preserved its culture against the customs of foreign barbarians.
  • The construction of the Great Wall was seen by certain Chinese dynasties as an effective response to the various problems linked to the conflicts existing between them and the various nomadic peoples.
  • We chose it beacuse it's one of the most importants and it's the one that we liked most.
  • We chose this artwork because there's so much things and it requires attention because if not you cannot see well what it is and also because stetically we like it, also there's fishes with what seem to be a rope in between them expressing the pollution on the sea.
  • The other artist is Portuguese Pantónio, and at 66 metres high and 15 metres wide, his 'Tourbillon de sardines' is currently the tallest fresco in Europe. It is located very close to its sister, on the Siena Tower, in the same Piazza Veneto.
