Windows of Venice along with Signs Everywhere represent another pivotal point in Bobby’s evolution as an artist. The idea started with his image Deux Lieux (French for Two Places) - created after a single sheet of 4x5 film was accidentally exposed twice in two different locations in Colmar, France. As Bobby has often stated, most great breakthroughs as an artist are the result of a timely accident, and after falling in love with the slide that would become Deux Lieux, Bobby began to think in terms of multiple exposures on the same sheet of film which led to his masterpiece Transcendent before taking the idea to the cities of Europe.

Windows of Venice and Signs Everywhere took the idea a step further by exposing a single frame of medium format film 5 or more times - remembering with each exposure where the previous exposures were positioned on the film in order to achieve an overall balanced composition - and then printing them as negatives. This series of works marks yet another milestone in Bobby’s break with the traditional views of the photographic medium into a style all his own. “Even in its most raw and authentic approach, with vintage cameras and the use of traditional FILM stocks, the camera is a means to modern art.” - Bobby Wheat
