Venice The city of thousand and one nights, charmful and seductive. There’s something so unique and magical about this floating city. Venice elegantly mesmerizes you with her glittering and dancing canals and bridges. Her narrow, dimly lighted fondamenta’s lead you into the dark and tight alleys to walk with Còdegas of the past. She accompanies you behind Luisa glamorous night walks, whispers tales and gossips of last night masquerade party into your ears. Venice tells you why Ducale Faliero was executed, how Casanova escaped from Piombi, how Venetians survived the plagues and overcame the floods. Venice was La Serenissima, was majestic and is. Once you are there, she will never leave you to feel passage of time. Venice is a sweet addiction!

Project Venice It was in the summer of 2012 on my first visit to Venice that it all sparkled an immense urge in me to plan for a grand photographic adventure in this magical city.

I immediately, when I was back in Amsterdam, started to plan the project and my trips. Less than six months later I was back in Venice. Project Venice was born in 2012 and it is uninterruptedly in progress. Since then, I have been visiting Venice once or twice a year, in all seasons.

Project Venice is a very comprehensive photographic documentary about a city that her beauty and character are unparalleled. The aim of this project is not only to capture and document the known spots and corners of this city, but as well as every other fondamenta, compo, corte, ponte …

Project Venice will be presented in the archivally crafted and printed books, in a single edition. It means, there will be no any other editions but "ONE" of every book. In order to achieve this goal, up to present, I have shot tens of thousands of photos, and have spent thousands of hours on the preparation and production of selected photos in their final form.

All photos are printed in 1x1 format with Lucia pigmented ink on Hahnemühle photo rag archival heavy papers. Finally, the printed photos are bonded together in the Hahnemühle genuine leather covers and placed in the protective archival boxes. They are all kept in the dust and moist free environment inside aluminum containers to provide best protection till they have reached their final destination …
