Description
The Campo dei Miracoli's tilting tower and cathedral complex make Pisa one of Italy's most visually dramatic urban environments, and Ono characteristically sidesteps the obvious monument to engage with the city's fabric. His Pisa print likely treats the medieval streets or the Arno's embankments with the same attention he gave to Tokyo's shitamachi or Vienna's Ringstrasse — the built texture of a place rather than its landmark icons.
