A real-life waterworld, just like the floating islands and make-shift sea vessels from the film, these precarious-looking swimming mini cities are the artistic and utopian experiment of American street artist Swoon, and an eccentric band of steampunk sailors.
Since 2006, Swoon has been organising trips with the DIY floatillas on waterways around the world including the Mississippi River, the Hudson and a journey from Slovenia to Venice in Italy, where the sea-faring band of outsiders crashed the 2009 Venice Biennale and pretty much stole the show.
