Amid the Canals and Chill of Unseasonable Days in Venice

Amid the Canals and Chill of Unseasonable Days in Venice captures a quiet sense of alienation experienced by two Indonesian photographers as they wandered through the storied streets of Venice. While the images may seem like ordinary snapshots at first glance, they gradually reveal what felt distant and unfamiliar: enduring architecture, relaxed public life, animals moving freely in open squares, and an overall rhythm of space and time that seemed absent from home. Rather than portraying Venice in full, the work focuses on subtle contrasts and fleeting moments, those that expose the emotional gaps between presence and belonging. Taken during days of continuous rain in mid-September, the photographs mirror a subdued atmosphere where beauty coexists with disorientation. This publication offers a quiet reflection on travel, displacement, and the layered experience of encountering a place both iconic and estranging.
