Carnival Close Up Feather Illustration Mask Offbeat Venice Carnival
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Gabriel Bouys, a costumed reveller strikes a pose near Saint Marks square during the carnival in Venice. The image captures the essence of the annual event that took place on February 21,2014. The theme for that year's Venice carnival was "Wonder and fantasy nature" and it spanned from February 15 to March 4. The horizontal composition of the photograph allows us to fully appreciate the intricate details of the reveller's costume. With an offbeat flair, they wear a mask adorned with feathers and vibrant red hues, creating a striking contrast against their mysterious identity. Bouys' close-up shot brings us closer to this enigmatic character, leaving us intrigued by their hidden persona. It is as if they have stepped out of an illustration or a fantastical world into our reality for just a moment. This photo encapsulates the spirit of celebration and revelry that permeates through every corner of Venice during its famous carnival. It transports viewers to another time and place where imagination runs wild and inhibitions are set free. Gabriel Bouys' skillful capture not only immortalizes this particular reveller but also invites us all to embrace wonderment and indulge in our own fantasies when we immerse ourselves in such festive occasions like the Venice Carnival.
