Venise

by Victor Burgin

In this beautifully illustrated book, Victor Burgin pursues ideas of "desire in and for a city, and, in a sense, desire of a city," ideas first explored in his video Venise, which was made in 1993 for the city of Marseilles and reflects on the relationship between San Francisco and Marseilles. The book is the only publication to comprehensively document this work, and it is the first book of this kind by Victor Burgin.
