Venice and the Glass Tea House adds water on water on water. Because in Venice you can walk and walk. You get lost once and then again; wandering alone, without a goal, just to fill your eyes and heart with something unique. It is not only the water on which floats the city. The magic of the gondola that take around tourists in love. The colorful buildings, the steamers and the enchanted stories that those streets and the stucco gold could tell.
Venice is something special. All of it. For its colors that change with the sunlight. For that black mask – intriguing and a bit scary – she wears at night. For the typical calle crossed by canals, interrupted or better connected by bridges. And then there is art everywhere. Not only because there is the Biennaleof art this year, but also because Venice is art.In Venice, creativity is more intense than ever, and the effect is spread across the lagoon. On the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore there is a very small piece of Japan. In the middle of a water courtyard, a glass box suspended in an open space clearly oriental inspiration. Metaphysics in minimalist design and ethereal materials, sophisticated composition. Hiroshi Sugimoto has created here a display case for the tea ceremony. Until 30 November 2015, you will be able to go there with a book or a notebook to write the best thoughts, draw or just thinking. And I’m sure something good will not be long in coming.
