12、ilm taken from the vantage point of a venetian gondola. only the gondola is not on the grand canal at all, but rather in one of the reproduction venices in the hotels of las vegas. the issue of the reproducibility of original locations raises the question of what the authenticity of a place such as

13、venice really means.the aspect of impermanence and the infinite variety of possibilities are exemplified in the installation by frank barkow and regine leibinger. their laser-cut stainless-steel pipes can be interpreted as abstract models of city high-rises, the arrangement of which is spontaneously
