We now understand myth as bildhaft-exemplary narrative in which existential, exceeding the capacity of human reason experiences are depicted. Due to its complexity, the myth opened numerous interpretations for a variety of crisis situations. The abuse of the concept of myth operated mainly in the 20th century calls but also a critical confrontation with this in the sense of a work on the myth’. Venice lends itself for the myth-making.

So its possible demise is summoned again.

This fragility and fragility delivers a unique foil for the artists and the arts.
