"I imagined that entering Palazzo Grassi one entered a body of water into which all the waters of the world converged." - Tatiana Trouvé

"It was quite a long adventure because it is an exhibition that took me two years to prepare, with 80 per cent of new works made for Palazzo Grassi but also thought in the context of Venice, of water, of the movement of water."
