In the summer of 2008, five years after the onset of the construction site for MOSE – Flood Protection System for the safeguarding of Venice and its lagoon – Walter Niedermayr conducted photographic studies in the areas affected by the human intervention. This volume brings together the photographs taken at the entrance of the port, but also along the coastal barrier and on some of the islands. The photographer worked on a territory held together thanks to a network of \u2018exceptional complexity\u2019 around the lagoon city. This zone was perceived as a secondary landscape of the Venetian area and generally ignored by the public gaze. The images of the area are characterized by the use of dazzling light which makes space appear evanescent. The objects captured by the photo frame are thus left to float within the brightness, thereby unhinging their spatial references. They seem to hint at the idea of freeing the objects in space, and thus tone down the presumption of perspectival construction, i.e. the possibility to describe the objects using a geometric-mathematic model.<\/p>\n
