Alessandra Chemollo: Venezia alter mundus

Based on the eponymous volume published by Marsilio Arte, the new exhibition “Venezia alter mundus” presents 65 photographs by Alessandra Chemollo, displayed on the first floor of Le Stanze della Fotografia, offering a unique vision of the most photographed city in the world, suspended between past and future.

Venice has been the favourite subject of Chemollo’s lens for over twenty years, transformed into an alter mundus, visited and narrated over the centuries by famous travellers. Another world, in which it is necessary to move cautiously, avoiding being captured by an image that seems familiar to us only because we secretly hope it will help us sustain the power of this city. Images in a tight narrative sequence, which do not want to be commented on, which do not seek explanations, but connect to other worlds.
