ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice - Italian-German Cultural
Association, is pleased to announce the opening of VISIONS, the third appointment
of ANIMA MUNDI 2026.The exhibition will open on July 17,2026,at Palazzo
Albrizzi-Capello in Venice and will remain on view until July 31,2026.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. Among the selected artists, Andrew R. Gibbs’s layered compositions in “Cities of
Change” explore the emotional impact of transforming urban landscapes, where
architecture and collective memory intertwine to reveal the fragile relationship
between place and identity. Similarly, Hiromasa Maeda’s “City Layered” interprets the
glass-and-concrete skyline as a palimpsest of reflections, shifting perspectives, and
fleeting traces of human presence, suggesting that cities acquire meaning only
through those who inhabit them. In parallel, Nuvy Kim (N12Y. 3) and Ilinca-Ruxandra Pipelea translate inner
experience into material form: drawing on the precision of her background in
jewellery making, Kim’s ceramics and paintings transform fractured perfection into
ambiguous, ungendered anatomies and psychologically charged spaces. Pipelea, by
contrast, constructs immersive environments through vibrant chromatic fields and
richly layered textures, using colour and gestural accumulation to evoke the unseen
rhythms of nature, memory, and emotional perception. A quiet, introspective sensibility runs through the figurative work of Dominika Łuszcz
and Marga Garcia: Łuszcz’s elongated, folk-inflected portraits contain restrained
psychological tension and cultural traces, and Garcia’s “Surrectio” reads the figure
as an emergent, feminine rebirth - silent, inward, and resilient. This intimacy of
feeling appears elsewhere in Inna Stelmachowicz’s meditative images, where silence, material, and light render moments of honesty and inner tension, and in
Diana Rîmbu’s intuitive paintings, which invite reflection and healing through
emotional resonance grounded in an architectural sense of space. Movement, rhythm, and the transmutation of performance into image animate the
photographic work of Danny Johananoff, whose slow-shutter studies dissolve
choreography into painterly currents that make tradition feel timeless; Satyajett
Salokhey’s large-scale ink gestures similarly capture bodily impulse and
subconscious residue, balancing control and spontaneity. Asnaby Samuel’s canvases introduce a mythic, mnemonic counterpart: drawing on
Sahara oral traditions, his "Djinns" series treats drums and surfaces as carriers of
memory and projection, where attention and presence activate ambiguous spiritual
forces. Finally, Filomena Parra’s "A Dança do Vidro" offers a lyrical conclusion: glass
becomes suspended light and gentle choreography, a study in fragility and fluidity
that echoes the formal restraint and emotional subtlety threaded through the show. VISIONS offers a cohesive journey through contemporary visual practices, further
enriched by a great selection of video artworks
