The photograph captures the interior architecture of Ca' Corner della Regina, a magnificent 18th-century palazzo located on the Grand Canal in Venice (which currently serves as the Venetian headquarters for the Fondazione Prada).
The image is printed directly onto a mirror board. This reflective surface actively incorporates the viewer and the surrounding room into the image, destabilizing the rigid, strictly objective viewing experience typically associated with Hütte's German contemporaries.
True to Hütte's mature style, the image strips away human presence, focusing instead on the atmospheric and structural geometry of the space. The reflective medium further enhances the ghostly, labyrinthine feel of the Venetian palazzo.
