The project took its inspiration from Yves Klein’s famous photograph “Le Saut dans le vide” (1960). In Klein’s work, the heroin is shown flinging his body into the void in an almost majestic manner, seemingly defying gravity. In a contrasting manner, each member of Gelitin can be seen dumping his body into the filthy Venetian canals over and over again, beating to death the enchantment of the fall inherent in Klein’s photograph.
