Venice exists not only as a place but as a circulating image-reproduced endlessly mirrored
across the globe and embedded in cultural memory. For over 25 years Stefanie Bürkle has
photographed both the city and its replicas exploring how Venice becomes a projection for
spatial desire. Venice unfolds not as a single city but as a network of imaginations-reflected
in fragments fictions and facades. This volume brings together analog and digital photographs
from her long-term archive accompanied by texts by Kristina Lovaas. Additionally there is a
fold-out map of Bürkle's Imagination of Venice atlas. The publication is part of the artistic
research project Imaginations of Venice within CRC 1265 Re-Figuration of Spaces Technische
Universität Berlin.
