W Foundation – Le Flou de Venise

Through eight black-and-white photographs in a 120 × 180 cm format, Renato D’Agostin explores the theme of perceptual uncertainty: the profile of a church and its bell tower emerges and dissolves into the mist, in a play of appearances and disappearances that transforms the morning gray into photographic material.

Here, grey does not evoke sadness; it evokes suspension. It is the colour of waiting, of the undefined, of a mystery that requires no answers. Within this blur, Renato D’Agostin’s photographs reveal a city held in time, magical, evanescent, like a memory that resists capture.

Each shot is a visual poem, a fragment of silence, an invitation to get lost in the invisible that lives between water, stone, and shadow. The contrasts of black and white and the almost dreamlike nuances reveal a more mysterious and intangible essence: not as it appears, but as it is felt.

Nothing is still, nothing is sharp.

Venice is a mosaic of lights and shadows, of suspended memories, of a beauty that brushes by without ever settling.
