Venetian red

Photography

The city of Venice has a special charm that has been captivating me. When I speak to others about this city, they usually refer to the famous landmarks or how the island has given in to overtourism. But for me, this island is a giant labyrinth with surprises at every corner, and has kept alluring me to go back to explore.

In particular, one element that strikes me about Venice is the color red that is omnipresent in the city. From the iconic Venetian flag, to the weathering walls of local houses, to the decorations of Gondolas that are traveling the waterways, the red seems to be playing an important role in the identity of the city, and adds to the charm of the island.

This series of photographs is taken over multiple trips to Venice. I intend to present scenes from the city beyond the usual views seen on postcards, while exploring how the color red is shaping the visual space of the city.
