With this edition – a photograph of Venice taken with a camera obscura – Vera Lutter captures the city’s iconic scenery in a transformed way. Lutter’s depiction of the Grand Canal and Venetian architecture is alienated through the inversion of black and white, lending the familiar cityscape an almost ghostly quality. The water in particular, due to the long exposure times, appears shimmering and ephemeral – like a fleeting reflection of time.
