About the Book
Photography is not pure duplication or a stopwatch of the eye that stops the physical world, but it is a language in which the difference between reproduction and interpretation, however subtle, exists and gives rise to an infinite number of imaginary worlds. So the great master Luigi Ghirri wrote and so Ian seems to move with
his „Underwater Venice“ project. Get originality photographing Venice is difficult, falling into the banal déjà vu is easy, but Ian decomposes, overlaps, doubles, triples views, palaces, canals, basilicas and bell towers that propose a real Venice, but oneiric. His is a conscious research to imagine a possible future of memory for a city, unique in the world, but probably fated to go underwater.
Paola de Riva
"Seas, landscapes and amazing towns like Venice fill the hearts of millions of romantic people, but the danger of the climate change is affecting our ability to dream in the future.
Billions of photographs have been shot of the historically enchanted town and very easily all those pictures will form the memory of a place that will soon be underwater. One of the tasks, probably the mission, of photography is to freeze the time and space of a small fragment in the movement of the universe.
Future generations which Venice will see?
Photographs taken by many eyes, souls, and different capabilities will form the only available reality of Venice in their minds and hearts?"
