Real Venice
C Photo Volume 2
Edited by Elena Ochoa Foster. Foreword by Anna Somers Cox. Text by William A. Ewing, Claudio Piersanti, Maria Antonella Pelizzari.
Ivory Press' new C Photo series is a five-year project that follows on the heels of C Photo magazine. This second volume of C Photo has been published to celebrate the exhibition Art for Venice, held at the 2011 Venice Biennale and curated by Elena Ochoa Foster. Ivorypress is collaborating with the Venice in Peril Fund and several other institutions in a major artistic initiative to raise money for the massive infrastructural repairs of which Venice is in such dire need. For this volume, 14 distinguished artists--Nan Goldin, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Candida Höfer, Hiroshi Watanabe, Lynne Cohen, Dionisio Gonzalez, Tiina Itkonen, Mimmo Jodice, Jules Spinatsch, Pierre Gonnord, Robert Walker, Tim Parchikov, Antonio Girbés and Matthias Schaller--have been invited to Venice to create images of the city and donate their creative vision for the benefit of the city's future.

FROM THE BOOK
"So many eyes, so many images, so many Venices, so many that no moderate person would allow them. Venice is the sum of all the memories, all the emotions, inexhaustible in what it reveals and what it evokes. All the photographers have been privileged and convinced that they have uncovered its mystery, and in the end what they have discovered is themselves. Venice is for everyone and in everyone, a state of mind, a dream and a longing. Even those who want to reduce it to the most everyday and banal do not escape its singularity despite the squalor, the Mestre that is part of Venice."
Vittorio Sgarbi, excerpted from Venice in the Eyes of the Absent Presentation in Real Venice.
