Where I aim to capture the daily life in Italy, Italians and their surroundings. Individuals going about their business in everyday life. There is something unique about each and every one of these people, they are all a part of something bigger. Abstract In my abstract 'Industrial Reflection' A seried of 6 photographs. During the Second Industrial Revolution, in 1883, the Italian Navy commissioned Armstrong, Mitchell & Co, a British manufacturer, to start building the unique Armstrong Mitchell crane at the Venice harbour. The crane represented a breakthrough in engineering at the time as it could lift up to 160 tons. The crane served its purpose and was in constant use from 1885 until the beginning of the First World War. After enduring serious war damage and being repaired several times, it was finally decommissioned in the mid-1950s. Still standing at the Venice Arsenale, the crane is a token of a time passed. It is the only remaining model of its type in the world and holds an important place in the history of Venice. In this series, I reflect on the old industry. This majestic crane that was used to make armaments during war times and now rests its arms overlooking the ancient city of Venice, Italy. The doves circulating the crane are a symbol of peace. Edition of each print is limited to 10. copies. Signed and numbered on rear side. Printed on Hahnemuhle museum quality paper.
