Kane Hulse portraits faded wall fragments in Venice

A photographic series on show at Paul Smith headquarters in London represents the vanished, romantic and stratified history of the city also known as the Serenissima.

A photographic series explores the materiality of the Venetian historical walls. Surfaces stained, faded, eroded by time and human action tell a unique and stratified story.

With Pentimento, photographer Kane Hulse portrays building details to create essential geometric compositions.

“Unrefined textures and the raw emotion of colour are conveyed through these sun washed images, which have been shot on medium format film. Each print in the series is developed by hand, created as a limited edition of one to mimic the unique nature of the subject it depicts,” says the author.

The shots are on display until 4 March 2019 at Paul Smith’s London flagship store.
