Discover Venice anew through the lens of Michael Kenna. This stunning book offers an in-depth exploration of the British virtuoso’s black-andwhite masterpieces, most of which are reproduced with the same format as the original prints. Kenna’s practice is characterised by long exposure times, which can last up to several hours, thus revealing unseen details within the Venetian landscape. His lens captures a wide array of subjects: mist-shrouded chapels and attics, falling stars above bell towers, palace arches, laundry threads, gondola prows, bridges, garden statues, twisted poles emerging from the black lagoon and reminiscent of ancient figures. Michael Kenna’s photographs skilfully play with light, shadow, and reflection to show the poetic intensity of Venice.
