WALDEMAR JANUSZCZAK INTERVIEWS GERRY FOX AT THE VENICE BIENNALE 2009
Filmmaker Gerry Fox has been visiting Venice over the last three years to capture the rituals and pageantry that are still very much part of the city's life today. In this multi-screen film installation he shows us the various sides of Venice: the Regata Storica, with its flotilla of stunning Venetian boats and traditional costumes, the stately priestly procession of the Festa Della Madonna Della Salute, hidden empty waterways, the Rialto market, and the Biennale itself.

I think it is problematic when artist investigate cultures from the outside. It seems too easy and little flat.

I disagree; I really enjoyed the added information in the work. By developing this work over a year, I feel that the artist is integrating with that culture. Most visitors have a limited experience of Venice, and I think this work create a in depth portrayal beyond the Biennale
