This book presents Alejandro Merizalde’s long-term photographic project in Venice, Italy developed over nearly two decades of sustained work. Focused on the city's lesser-seen edges—the lagoon, peripheral neighborhoods, and working infrastructures—the photographs reject the familiar iconography of Venice in favor of quiet observation and formal precision. Shot in black and white, often using long exposures, the images are stripped of excess and rooted in the purity of landscape. Merizalde’s approach emphasizes spatial clarity, tonal subtlety, and the relationship between architecture and environment. This is not a portrait of Venice as it appears in postcards, but an open window into the city’s original grounds and urban areas devoid of mass tourism.
