VENEZIAFANTASMA
Street photography, double exposures
Venice
Italy
This project was born from the desire to show the symbiotic relationship between Venice and its main source of income, in a poetic way, without judgement.
I was looking for beauty in the contradictions, between fascination for an urban masterpiece and overstimulation, quality of life and sustenance, reality and fantasy.
I decided to use candid shots, and to return to the same spaces at night, to create mismatched double exposures.
I wanted to show the rich textures and spatial qualities of the city through the obscuring crowd, in dual images full of contradictions.
This project required a lot of preparation; unfortunately the trip I had planned to develop it properly was in February 2020 - Right as I got started, the very phenomenon I wished to document vanished. Today I am thinking of starting to work on this project again and to expand on it.
