Ciudad Silencio

Along the promenade d’Albigny not far from shore, five, odd little houses float in Lake Annecy. Pedro Marzorati offers us a moment of peace, rest, and contemplation. Set on the water’s surface, these lakeside constructions—contemporary archeological vestiges of a sort—are also a place to let your thoughts drift…

For Pedro Marzorati (born in 1969), an Argentine visual artist living in France, creation is inherently an act of poetic activism. His work encourages us to think about the interaction between art and science and the problems currently facing us, such as the consequences of climate change. Marzorati uses every possible technique, from photography and drawing to installations. His works have been presented at parc de la Villette (Paris), Nuit Blanche (Paris), Lille 3000 (Lille), and elsewhere.
