    Among the most innovative photographers working today, Vera Lutter produces one-of-a-kind photographs that incorporate fundamental principles of her medium. To make her work, she creates a room-size camera obscura with a simple pinhole, exposing large sheets of photographic paper on the opposite wall. The result is a unique large-scale black-and-white image that she retains as a unique negative. In this image, Lutter pictures the Piazza San Marco in Venice, capturing its famous architecture and their reflections at a fittingly monumental scale.
