Jeff Wall: Child in Park, Venice 1993
This limited-edition print by Jeff Wall, which forms part of a set, depicts a small child in a sailor outfit emerging from the bushes of a lush Venetian park. Originally produced as an imposing large-scale lightbox transparency in 1993 with the title In the Public Garden, the 2024 inkjet print, with its smaller format, gives the image the feeling of an intimate family snapshot. Child in Park, Venice 1993 belongs to the “near documentary” strand of Wall’s work, resembling a documentary photograph but staged in collaboration with its nonprofessional subject and depicting a moment that seems at once everyday and charged with complex meaning.
