Metamorphosing Venice is Pierre Toutain-Dorbec’s intimate photographic and literary homage to a city that became both sanctuary and muse.
Floating somewhere between myth and legend, past and present, Venice is a sea-kissed dream of a city, a time-carved marvel that haunts the imagination. The Queen of the Adriatic, the City of Masks, the City of Bridges, La Serenissima.
Venice was Toutain-Dorbec’s home away from home across the years 1958–2003, and during the 1990s he maintained an apartment there. This book brings together memories from those decades as both a chronologically diverse testament to the culture and character of Venice and a deeply personal homage to the city.
Hand-colored candid photographs, poems, and short stories reflect the Floating City from many perspectives, juxtaposing the classical and the modern, the timeless and the ephemeral.
Metamorphosing Venice is a photographer and writer’s love letter to a city that continues to exist as an extraordinary feast for the senses.
