VISIONS – ANIMA MUNDI 2026

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.
