Underwater Venice_XVIII

"Photography is not pure duplication or a stopwatch of the eye that stops the physical world, but it is a language in which the difference between reproduction and interpretation, however subtle, exists and gives rise to an in nite number of imaginary worlds. So the great master Luigi Ghirri wrote and so Ian seems to move with his Underwater Venice project. Get originality photographing Venice is dif cult, falling into the banal déjà vu is easy, but Ian decomposes, overlaps, doubles, triples views, palaces, canals, basilicas and bell towers that propose a real Venice, but oneiric. He is leading conscious research to imagine a possible future of memory for a city, unique in the world, but probably fated to go underwater".

Paola de Riva, curator of the Underwater Venice series

Note:

The concept of Underwater Venice is of a diver swimming in a Venice that is already fully under water. You can see distortion and black shadow of the scuba mask.

Asymetric and unregular white board framing is part of the composition.
