Venice of the hundred Solitudes is a documentary project which explores the duality that Venice has been through during the Covid-19 pandemic.
 « Whilst the world was seeing images of dolphins in the canals, the truth of the Venetian lockdown is also one of deep solitude. An ageing city plagued by mass tourism, Covid 19 has been to Venice both a blessing and a curse. The space to breathe and move freely, to reclaim the city had its own real downsides. 
The duality left me with a desire to portray Venice through the Venetians. To delve behind the picture-perfect postcards of one of the most fetishized cities on the planet, to capture what is left behind when everyone stops looking ».
