OPENING: CONSCIOUSNESS VENICE

CONSCIOUSNESS – ANIMA MUNDI 2026

June 19 – July 03, 2026

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.
