The video, entirely created using digital graphics, reimagines the anti-aircraft defences built in 1917 to shield the equestrian monument to Bartolomeo Colleoni in Venice. The enormous structure, originally made of wood and seaweed mattresses, is reinterpreted in the video through a contemporary lens, using scaffolding and fragments of advertising billboards found throughout the city. The video examines this structure as an autonomous monument in its own right, allowing only glimpses of the forms it conceals.
