Venice in the Flow of Time
In her new series, Carina Brunnelli presents Venice in a deeply moving way. She transforms the city, deconstructs its structures, and uses water, light, and architecture as artistic tools to create a new image of the lagoon city. Her photography becomes a medium that goes far beyond mere depiction, she creates a scene that dissolves into flowing colors and gentle forms, like a painting. Inspired by impressionism, Brunnelli captures not only what is seen, but what is felt. Reflections distort structures, shadows blur edges, and time seems to drift through each image. Lost in Time reveals a melancholic Venice, fading gently into its own reflections, a tribute to stories that linger in water and stone. Held in the Moment shifts to lightness and wonder, capturing fleeting beauty in moments where light and shadow quietly dance. Through both series, Brunnelli invites us to see Venice in a new, different way: as a place where past and present, structure and soul, flow into one.

Carina Brunnelli’s artistic practice explores the intimate dialogue between architecture and art, two disciplines that, according to her, shape our perception of space, memory, and emotion. Through her photography, she reflects on how both can tell stories, evoke feeling, and transform the way we experience the world. In her work, architecture becomes more than structure, and art more than image; they merge into a visual language of light, shadow, and atmosphere.

“To me, architecture is art in space. And art is architecture for the soul.”
