Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice - Italian-German Cultural Association, is pleased to announce the opening of CONSCIOUSNESS, the second appointment of
ANIMA MUNDI 2026.The exhibition will open on June 19,2026,at Palazzo
Albrizzi-Capello in Venice and will remain on view until July 03,2026.ANIMA MUNDI is the vital energy that flows through all things, the subtle force connecting
every form of existence, from natural to artificial, visible to invisible. Understood since
Plato’s Timaeus as the soul of a living universe, it returns today as an intuitive awareness
of an invisible but active network that sustains transformation, coexistence, and renewal
across matter, time, and life. It is the underlying rhythm that links ecosystems, human and
non-human entities, and balances the continuous evolution of the world. Within this
framework, artists, designers, and architects are invited to explore how this universal
energy manifests today, investigating the subtle correspondences between soul and body, humanity and nature, and organic and synthetic worlds. In the works of Amira Yaakoubi, the female body becomes a site where memory and
desire continuously intertwine: through layered compositions and expressive gestures, her
painting gives shape to figures suspended between strength and vulnerability, transforming the image into a reflection on identity and the female condition. A related
sensibility emerges in the photographic practice of Maciej Max Dominik, who reduces the
body to its essential form through black and white imagery and a rigorous control of light, in which each photograph seems to strip away every superfluous element, allowing
movement and presence to surface in a dialogue where the body never appears fixed or
definitive, but rather constantly shaped by emotional and perceptual transformation. Nadine Collado, instead, develops a practice driven by intuition and spontaneity through
abstract compositions that take form through layering, tonal variations, and free gestures, creating open and mutable images that shift according to the viewer’s gaze, in an intuitive
dimension that resonates with the photography of Romina Calini, where each image
originates from an immediate response to reality. Light and atmosphere transform the
photographic act into a personal perception rather than a simple registration of the visible
world, moving between inner experience and a sensitive interpretation of their
surroundings. The theme of waiting runs through the work of Paolo Cristiani, who observes airports, hotels, and transitional spaces as suspended environments, almost detached from time: his images transform the experience of contemporary travel into a rarefied dimension
where architecture and human presence coexist in silent balance. In Conrad Schirmann’s painterly research, depth becomes a generative force from which
abstract landscapes slowly emerge from matter itself; built through layers and sudden
openings, his chromatic surfaces evoke contemplative states and inner dimensions. The photographs of Charlotte Stoffels conclude this journey through images that preserve
fragments of time, subtle details, and delicate atmospheres. Her gaze focuses on a
discreet and unconstructed beauty that reveals itself within the intervals of everyday life in
a perpetual research for the invisible and the imperfect, where the vision of ANIMA MUNDI
fully emerges as a subtle network of connections between perception, memory, and
human experience. CONSCIOUSNESS offers a cohesive journey through contemporary visual practices, further enriched by a great selection of video artworks (see
