      The novella Death in Venice was written by the German author Thomas Mann, and was first published in 1912 as Der Tod in Venedig. [...] Mann's original intention was to write about "passion as confusion and degradation", after having been fascinated by the true story of Goethe's love for 18-year-old Ulrike von Levetzow, which had led Goethe to write his Marienbad Elegy. The death of Gustav Mahler and Mann's interest in a boy during summer vacation were additional experiences occupying his thoughts. He used the story to illuminate certain convictions about the relationship between life and mind, with Gustav representing the intellectual. Mann was also influenced by Sigmund Freud and his views on dreams, as well as by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. He had visited Venice several times.

      Venice waiting for a high tide, taken with a camera from the perspective of a dog. Yes, this is essential to understand, to change: learning to see things through the eyes of others. Even those of other living species. We are too often disrespectful tenants of this planet. [it] Una Venezia che aspetta l'acqua alta, ripresa con una telecamera dal punto di vista di un cane. Sì, questo è essenziale per capire, per cambiare: imparare a guardare le cose attraverso gli occhi degli altri. Anche quelli di altre specie viventi. Siamo spesso affittuari irrispettosi di questo pianeta. JANA STERBAK "Through the eye of the other" project by Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation and Teatro La Fenice Teatro La Fenice, Venice video "Waiting For High Water" Preview 27 February 2010, then from 12 March - 24 March 2010 link: www.janasterbak.com video: Urban Abstract by Musuta on vimeo.com [vimeo http://vimeo.com/7681282]

      txt: Anish Kapoor: portrait of the artist as a special effect - timesonline.co.uk

      Here is an artist who plays games with perceptions. Can emptiness become an object? Can the monumental be immaterial? Can the ethereal take solid form? At what point does something come into being and at what point does it vanish back into complete non-existence?
