    REFRACTION

    Thus, Refraction becomes the silent tale of a paradox: a single fragment of imperfect glass is enough for an age-old city to appear new, for the everyday to be tinged with unreality, for a physical law to turn into visual poetry. In that encounter between light, matter and memory, the viewer is not merely looking at a landscape: they lean out over a dream that never quite comes into full focus, and it is precisely for this reason that it continues to enchant..

    The work reflects on the way light alters what we see and, more profoundly, on the unstable nature of perception. Each image depends on the point of view, the material passing through it, and the experience of the observer.

  • Desiderium

    DESIDERIUM

    There is an ancient word, desiderium, which in Latin denotes the aching absence of something loved and far away. Yet within that word also lives a gaze turned skyward, searching for missing stars, for possibilities still unseen.
    DESIDERIUM is an exhibition that explores desire as a creative force, as an impulse toward what is not there—or not there yet.
    The works selected will chart emotional maps: they will press toward an inner elsewhere, oscillating between nostalgia and visionary tension.
    Painting, sculpture, installation, photography, performance—the admitted art forms—become instruments for probing absence, but also for evoking new bearings. The missing stars become symbols of what our time lacks: meaning, care, beauty.
    Desire as memory, as vision, as the language of the body, of matter, of light. From it emerge works that offer no answers, but questions: intimate, vertiginous, necessary.
    “Desiderium” is thus a constellation of fertile absences, an exhibition space that becomes an interstice between the real and the hypothetical.
    An invitation to desire without measure.
    And never to stop searching the sky.
