The image of the most photographed city in the world, crushed under layers of romanticism and mythology, reappears through the lens of Andrea Avezzù in all its powerful and unrivalled iconic nature. These shots defy any form of trivialization, cleansing Venice of the tragic wear and tear of mass tourism and restoring its purity, a golden age that belongs to the city’s oldest and most authentic soul. Avezzù multiplies spaces, dismantles and super-imposes architectures, discovers registers of archetypal colours, and openly challenges any holographic or didactic reference.
