Short-documentary about Murano Glassmakers, realized for the exhibition “Man In The Glass” by Polish Artist Marcin Gierat and premiered at the Venice Glass Week 2020.
Involving in the project a selection of historical and prestigious furnaces from Murano: Barovier&Toso, NasonMoretti, Schiavon Art Team, the photographer Marcin Gierat has created a photographic series that celebrates the great artisanal tradition of Murano glass-makers with a series of portraits of the masters, directly captured on glass plates made by them. They communicate their sense to the viewers not only through the pictures of the Glass Masters, but through the glass plates too. A double-portrait in which the image of the represented man and the characteristics of his glass, reveal the identity of the subject.
