Venedig gehört zu den meistfotografierten Städten der Welt. Dieser Bildband widmet sich der morbiden Zerbrechlichkeit dieser Stadt und legt seinen Fokus auf eine märchenhaft melancholische Stimmung in 298 Fotografien. Die düstere Atmosphäre erzeugt einen reizvollen Kontrast zum oft abgebildeten touristischen Treiben. Der Betrachter erhält die Gelegenheit, hinter die Kulissen zu blicken und wird nicht länger als Fremder wahrgenommen, sondern zum Eingeweihten Venedigs. Diese neue Perspektive teilt der Betrachter mit Robert, dem Protagonisten einer feinsinnigen Erzählung. Seine Menschenscheu treibt ihn weg von den Hauptattraktionen in die Nebenstraßen, Hinterhöfe und Kanäle, wo er auf Emilio, den Straßenmaler, trifft.
