Death in Venice
"Venice is a beautiful place to die' (MG).Ā Ā Probably not by Uzi, but rather romantically looking out at Canaletto's Venice canals. The title, originally from Thomas Mann's novella (1912), evokes an intriguing, morbid but also romantic feeling.Ā
Try saying 'Death in New York'; it brings to mind being shot in an alley rather than the mystical side streets that run to and from the canals of Venice.Ā
Using one of Canaletto's Venice canal paintings and juxtaposing it with the Uzi, Magnus takes a literal approach to the title and at the same time brings the title to life in image-form. I'd rather die a beautiful death in Venice.Ā
