This print shows Venice’s lagoon, a quiet slice of water with a ferry moving through it. Giulia Zaniol made it in 2006 using etching and chine collé with metallic pigments. The series looks at how mass tourism has changed her native city. She won the Clifford Chance Purchase Prize that same year for these etchings. They capture Venice’s push and pull between locals and visitors. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
