"Uros Island", an installation by Grimanesa Amorós that was featured at the 54th Venice Biennale's International Art Exhibition, was inspired by Lake Titicaca's floating oases in a high-elevation environment. The installation combines the shifting patterns of light and colors of Venice and of the Inca lake as the sun arcs across the sky. When the sun set over the Venetian exhibition site and stars appeared, the glowing hemispheric islands in the Uros piece seemed to float in mid-air. The exhibition traveled to Wereldmuseum in Rotterdam, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taiwan and Today Art Museum in China.
