Explore the theme of memory—use it as inspiration, not a limitation.

“Memory is not static; it intertwines reality with imagination, merging past and present. We are looking for works that delve into the hazy, fragmented essence of memory, capturing its evolution and emotional resonance.”

Chiara Benzi presents a profound exploration of the human body and its interplay with nature in her latest work.

“How much can a body endure?” Benzi asks herself. She explores our longings and fears projected onto nature and what our bodies can endure, starting with the physical body and then lifting off into a more oneiric space. The project transcends our dysfunctional coexistence with nature, embracing a fantasy in which a woman becomes a dream, an animal, a plant… A woman returns to soil, returns to frailer form. Using photography, video and sound, her work aims to involve the viewer in a dreamlike voyage through the most hungry, lustful, disgusting, vulnerable part of herself speaking. At the same time, she seeks a link between personal and collective, between introspection and connection, creating the ambiguity ratio, the double entendre, and the double meaning.

Introducing Bruno Silva’s evocative project ‘Acrylic Afternoons,’ a deep dive into the layers of his memories across different life phases.

In the project ‘Acrylic Afternoons,’ Bruno Silva explores his memories through layers of distinct phases of his life. Each phase evokes unique experiences and feelings—from summer afternoons to the freedom of adolescence and the reconnection with the sea in adulthood, tinged with romance and nostalgia. Bruno offers the sea as a space of memories that, as Betina Juglair describes in the project text “Land-Escape”: “they are memory landscapes, as if he digs the sand, holds a memory in his hands just so he can see it fading into the foam of the cold, nocturnal waters of time.”

Through practices with experimental qualities, Bruno dissolves into the images as part of the landscape, not trying to capture the sea but rather to intuit it, aware that “what matters the most is what is least apprehensible.” In various approaches, the artist seeks the elusive texture of memories, presenting the sea not as a direct object but as the continuous flow of recollection, which, as Betina wrote, “its eternal movement: push, pull, rise, fall, a clock as precise and as loud that one easily forgets about.”

Presenting Yile Yang’s project, an exploration of elusive happiness and unexpected realities.

The project begins with the ironic discovery of a side path labeled “Road to Happiness” in an animal park—off-limits to visitors. Yile Yang captures the imagination with this whimsical tale, pondering whether the warning is genuine or a trap, whether it aims to deter calamity or keep wanderers at bay. Just as she steps onto this mysterious path, the overpowering stench of animal droppings forces her retreat, leaving happiness unverified but the surreal experience fully felt.

Sharing her project ‘Hunting for Light,’ Cecilia Sebastiani presents a powerful exploration of healing.

‘Hunting for Light’ is a photographic series that delves into the theme of both physical and emotional healing, portrayed through a dreamlike and enchanted aesthetic. The series embodies a suspended, ethereal atmosphere, with subjects that evoke purity and fragility, contrasted with elements linked to pain and death, bringing a sense of mystery and unease. These images reflect an intimate, inner world rather than a physical one, inviting viewers on a journey of transformation and renewal.

Introducing Carlos Barradas project, ‘Ferry Tales.’

‘Ferry Tales’ brings us into a world of solitude and immensity, where fleeting moments meet eternal ones. The project focuses on the ferryboat as a space in permanent transition, a microcosm of life itself. Through this metaphorical journey, Carlos Barradas captures the transient experiences of ferry crossings, turning the trivial into something exceptional. Inspired by Michel Foucault’s words, the ferryboat becomes a heterotopia—both a place of liberation and confinement, floating between worlds. It is a space where the usual societal rules blur, encouraging discovery and imagination over control and surveillance. This work invites viewers to reflect on broader themes of existence, emotion, and the liminal spaces we all traverse in life.

Introducing Pelly Mandreka’s visionary project, ‘THE PRESENT,’ a profound exploration of a world reborn.

‘THE PRESENT’ [an actual presentation of a gifted world] envisions a world that has undergone a transformative slumber, emerging pristine and reformed. In this new era, the earth has been healed and rebuilt on new foundations after a period of radical change, implemented seamlessly during this quadrennial sleep. Now, as the world reawakens, you find yourself in a reality that defies past knowledge, standing on the threshold of a new beginning. This project presents a map, a guide, a manual for navigating this new world—a gift to humanity, offering a vision of peace, prosperity, and intellectual enlightenment. It is a celebration of a world reborn, where the past is forgotten, and the future is embraced with wonder and science, promising liberties, health, and happiness for all.

Exploring the depths of the unconscious mind through the lens of Yiannis Trifonopoulos.

Inspired by Sigmund Freud’s concept of the unconscious as a vast space harboring our traumas, repressed thoughts, and impulses, this series attempts to visualize the thoughts, fears, insecurities, and anxieties that lie beneath the surface of our consciousness. Yiannis Trifonopoulos delves into the emotional wounds from childhood that we carry into adulthood, shaping our behavior and perception today. Through his work, he brings to light the unseen and often unexplored aspects of the human psyche.
