Vera Lutter

San Marco, Venice, III: November 9

Vera Lutter's "San Marco, Venice, III: November 9" is a unique gelatin silver print diptych created using her signature camera obscura technique, which produces ethereal, tonally rich images characterized by their dreamlike quality and subtle gradations of light. The work captures the iconic Basilica di San Marco across two panels, with the diptych format allowing Lutter to explore the monumental architecture's spatial presence and atmospheric conditions on a specific date. This large scale gelatin silver print exemplifies Lutter's exploration of how light, time, and architectural form interact within the photographic process, creating images that emphasize the poetic over the documentary.
