Venice:
A Personal View
Photographs
by Andrea Baldeck
Poised in delicate, often hazardous balance with the liquid
natural world the fabric of the man-made city rises out
of the water and is reflected in it. The earth of Venice,
a tissue of alluvial silt, is upheld and given form by
a vast subterranean endoskeleton of wooden pilings supporting
buildings of splendor with their feet in the mud. The
air of Venice carries both heat and swells from North
Africaís deserts and envelops life like liquid
gauze. And fire, the most volatile of the four elements,
has both destroyed and redrawn swaths of the city and
fed the industry and commerce of a trading nation.
Andrea Baldeck —musician, physician, and photographer—has
had an abiding interest in third world medicine. Her photographs
have been exhibited widely and are part of the permanent
collections of major museums.
