It's as if Gulliver's hands are reaching up out of the lagoon in Venice to hold up the façade of Palazzo Morosini Sagredo (also known as Ca’ Sagredo), transporting the entire scene to Lilliput...  The gigantic artwork is called Support, a temporary artwork by artist Lorenzo Quinn that was inaugurated on 13 May and will run until 26 November 2017.

Support is an artwork aimed to draw the attention on how delicate life and its survival as we know it is, compared to the force of nature in an evermore threatened environment due to climate change. The hands represent the role humans can play in supporting (or not) a unique heritage like Venice.
