Axel Hutte : Fantasmi e Realta

A photographer of the so-called Dusseldorf School, Axel Hutte trained under Bernd Becher with Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff, Candida Hofer and Andreas Gursky. This volume presents two series of photographs. The first illustrates the author's journey from Germany to Italy, a sort of retracing of the nineteenth-century Grand Tour: from Alpine passes surrounded by snowy summits to Apennine peaks. The second explores Venice and the interiors of some of its best-known palazzi through colour and black-and-white photographs, offering an austere and intimate picture of the lagoon city.
