'Caffe Lavena' San Marco Venice 2017: £975 including UK VAT

Edition of 25: Frame size 125cm x 87cm.

When San Marco floods it does so by stealth. You expect it to arrive as a minor Tsunami from the direction of San Giorgio, but it doesn't. It emerges silently from three ancient and impressive drain covers located in ther middle of the square. When time exposing images of the Caffe Laverna this can leave you stranded. The best approach is to pretend you have not noticed and wade around the Square as if nothing has happened. When then the staff at the revered Caffe let you know that 'you are wet' you can respond .... 'yes .. it is' and continue undaunted.
'Yes .. it is' is a brilliant response learned from my great friend Moi from Barcelona. He uses it in Countries other than his own in response to questions like 'Can I help you'
