    Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Dreamlike black and white photographs capture the mysterious beauty of this beloved city as it is without tourists and beyond the usual places. Alejandro Merizalde began photographing in Venice in 2008. In his early visits he found the city stiflingly overcrowded, but during a brief winter trip a few years later, the overcast skies and foggy atmosphere allowed him to draw out Venice's legendary beauty without the disruptions of mass tourism. In 2013 he started experimenting with longer exposures to eliminate the distractions of human activity and enable him to concentrate on his architectural compositions. This shift in approach was gradual, but it helped him realise that he was no longer interested in recording iconic features like St Mark's Basilica, the Bridge of Sighs and the gondola, to name a few. From then on, he dropped the predictable locations and buildings and trained his lens on the Venice lagoon and areas of the city where Venetians actually spend their lives. Text in English, French and Italian. AUTHORS: Alejandro Merizalde was born in Ecuador in 1979 and has spent 16 years developing his wide-ranging Venice photographic project. His first book, 100 Churches of Venice and the Lagoon, was published by Damiani in 2021. His second title, Thirteen Venetian Gasoline Stations, a limited-edition art book conceived in tribute to artist Ed Ruscha, was published in 2023. He currently lives and works in Connecticut with his wife. Luis Perez-Oramas was born in Caracas in 1960. He is a poet and art historian, holding a PhD in Art History from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris (1994). He was the curator of Latin American Art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York from 2003 to 2017, and is the author of several exhibition catalogues, essays on art, social issues and political criticism, as well as nine books of poetry. SELLING POINTS: . The book showcases lesser-known areas of Venice, providing a glimpse into the daily lives of Venetian residents . Merizalde's long-exposure photography creates mesmerising images of the Venetian lagoon and cityscapes . Merizalde's photographs capture the true essence of Venice, its history, culture, and beauty 52 b/w illustrations Alejandro Merizalde captures Venice's hidden beauty. Escaping the tourist crowds, he focuses on the city's quieter moments and the lagoon's serene landscapes. His long-exposure photography reveals a Venice untouched by mass tourism. Text in English, French and Italian. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

    Hardback. Condition: New. 100 Churches of Venice and the Lagoon is a photographic project started by Merizalde in 2014, alongside a broader body of work that began in the city in 2008. The color photographs in this book document religious temples from every "sestiere" of Venice, and the smaller towns of the Venetian lagoon. Starting in every neighborhood in the city, and navigating the Venetian lagoon-from Murano to Burano and Torcello, from Pellestrina to Chioggia, and deep into the northern lagoon to areas like Lio Piccolo, Mesole and beyond-he found and photographed their respective churches whether they remained in service or were deconsecrated or repurposed. Following their architectural similarities, the book presents a layout that favors the façade, relying on this subtle repetition for artistic sustenance and balance. A poignant essay by Marina Gasparini Lagrange provides an account tthat combines her personal experience as a former resident with a balanced historical perspective. 100 Churches of Venice and the Lagoon presents an in-depth view of Venetian culture and history through its place of worship in a book of exceptional appeal.…

Ediz. italiana, inglese e francese Alejandro Merizalde cattura l'anima nascosta di Venezia. Il suo obiettivo si posa sull'architettura meno conosciuta e sull'eterea bellezza della laguna. Alejandro Merizalde ha iniziato a fotografare Venezia nel 2008.

Dal 2013, Merizalde inizia a utilizzare tempi di esposizione più lunghi per ridurre l'impatto dell'attività umana e valorizzare l'architettura della città. Gli effetti ottenuti lo hanno portato a distaccarsi gradualmente dalle vedute più iconiche della città, come la Basilica di San Marco, il Ponte dei Sospiri e le gondole. Da allora, predilige esplorare la laguna e le zone meno conosciute, quelle dove i veneziani conducono la propria vita quotidiana.…

    Hardback. Condition: New. 100 Churches of Venice and the Lagoon is a photographic project started by Merizalde in 2014, alongside a broader body of work that began in the city in 2008. The color photographs in this book document religious temples from every "sestiere" of Venice, and the smaller towns of the Venetian lagoon. Starting in every neighborhood in the city, and navigating the Venetian lagoon-from Murano to Burano and Torcello, from Pellestrina to Chioggia, and deep into the northern lagoon to areas like Lio Piccolo, Mesole and beyond-he found and photographed their respective churches whether they remained in service or were deconsecrated or repurposed. Following their architectural similarities, the book presents a layout that favors the façade, relying on this subtle repetition for artistic sustenance and balance. A poignant essay by Marina Gasparini Lagrange provides an account tthat combines her personal experience as a former resident with a balanced historical perspective. 100 Churches of Venice and the Lagoon presents an in-depth view of Venetian culture and history through its place of worship in a book of exceptional appeal.…

    Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Dreamlike black and white photographs capture the mysterious beauty of this beloved city as it is without tourists and beyond the usual places. Alejandro Merizalde began photographing in Venice in 2008. In his early visits he found the city stiflingly overcrowded, but during a brief winter trip a few years later, the overcast skies and foggy atmosphere allowed him to draw out Venice's legendary beauty without the disruptions of mass tourism. In 2013 he started experimenting with longer exposures to eliminate the distractions of human activity and enable him to concentrate on his architectural compositions. This shift in approach was gradual, but it helped him realise that he was no longer interested in recording iconic features like St Mark's Basilica, the Bridge of Sighs and the gondola, to name a few. From then on, he dropped the predictable locations and buildings and trained his lens on the Venice lagoon and areas of the city where Venetians actually spend their lives. Text in English, French and Italian. AUTHORS: Alejandro Merizalde was born in Ecuador in 1979 and has spent 16 years developing his wide-ranging Venice photographic project. His first book, 100 Churches of Venice and the Lagoon, was published by Damiani in 2021. His second title, Thirteen Venetian Gasoline Stations, a limited-edition art book conceived in tribute to artist Ed Ruscha, was published in 2023. He currently lives and works in Connecticut with his wife. Luis Perez-Oramas was born in Caracas in 1960.
