By transforming the materiality, process, and perception of paintings, Stingel’s work alters the viewer’s perception of and physical encounter with the artwork and invites the viewer to participate in or collaborate in a new and deeper understanding and appreciation of art.

Casanova or the Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri) adds to the mystic and romantic reputation of Venice. To this day, Venice is one of the most popular destinations for couples. Casanova is synonymous for the art of seduction and, although the tale about the Bridge of Sighs has a tragic background, it is still very romantic.

Many stopped briefly to take a last look over the city and, hence, let out a last sigh of freedom. A bit later, a legend developed that says the love of a couple who kisses underneath the bridge at sunset will last forever. As you can imagine, many couples go on a gondola ride underneath this bridge sealing their love with a kiss.
