Serenissima offers a dreamlike voyage through femininity, nature and perception. Jeff Robb is known for pioneering lenticular photography and pushing the boundaries of three-dimensional art. A graduate of the Royal College of Art, his work fuses technology and emotion to create shifting images that move with the viewer, drawing guests into a world where beauty is fluid and ever-changing.
Displayed throughout the hotel's shared areas, the exhibition invites visitors to look beyond the surface. In the breakfast room, still lifes inspired by classical forms meet bold, modern composition. In the passageway, digitally sculpted tulips from the Rorschach Flower series shimmer and shift, revealing hidden figures and surreal forms. Feminine silhouettes drift through the hotel's 8 Millimetri restaurant and meeting spaces, suspended in time and echoing the romance of Venice. Outside, the mirrored sculpture Affinity reflects the garden's greenery, inviting moments of quiet contemplation and connection.
Gallerist Cristian Contini commented: "Serenissima captures the timeless essence of Venice and reimagines it through Jeff's poetic lens. His lenticular pieces create a dialogue with the hotel's architecture, inviting guests and visitors alike to slow down and experience beauty from new perspectives."
