MIAMI MY VENICE
“I have never been to Venice. I may never go to Venice.... This collection of images is not about having been to Venice. It is about a connection that occurred while looking at a map of Miami-Dade while the map was upside down...a realization of how water-centric we are, how surrounded but also how divided by water into myriad islands created by canals, bookended between the River of Grass and the Ocean and somehow, perhaps inevitably, my mind made a jump to Venice. Similarities, parallels and differences followed one after the other as if following some law of non-intellectual, emotional gravity...it is, in the end, about telling a story through simile...and contradictions.” rem miami 2020 |
