Coastal recurrence
Venice is not used merely as a beach symbol. Source passages locate social encounters, invented storefront imagery, nightlife and a sense of coming back to an earlier point in the work’s own development.

The Venice Boardwalk is also a setting in which made-up store signage can be mentally or graphically inserted into a real commercial environment. The place therefore becomes a ready surface for documentary-fictional overlay.
