Elger Esser — Poveglia, Italien
Elger Esser

Poveglia, Italien

A hauntingly serene view of the abandoned island of Poveglia off the Venetian lagoon, captured in Elger Esser's signature luminous, painterly style. The chromogenic print rendered in soft, muted tones evokes a dreamlike stillness, blurring the boundary between photography and landscape painting. Mounted behind Diasec, the image achieves a depth and luminosity that further enhances its meditative, melancholic atmosphere.

Medium
Chromogenic print, Diasec mounted.
