Background information
"Who doesn't think they know it, the proudest city in the world, as it has been lying like a dream in an enchanted lagoon landscape for centuries? Venice is a legend, an image of a distant reality and yet also very real. Everyone carries their own image of Venice each one is completely different. Five of the world's best photographers - four MAGNUM members and a Thomas Ruff student - were commissioned to show their view of Venice, its waters and its people. The result is an illustrated book that delves into the innermost of a myth.
