The Crack into Sleep Is the Crack into Dreaming explores the fragile boundary between waking life and the dream world. Through minimalist imagery, I place subjects within the everyday, focusing on subtle details and quiet emotions that suggest something hidden beneath the surface.
These cracks act as portals to the subconscious, where intimacy and distance exist in tension.
Some images unfold through double exposure, layering fragments of memory and time, like brief flashes surfacing from within. The work
traces a visual journey through the in-between, where past and present softly blur.

The Dice Man is not simply an urban inquiry, but an act of existential reclamation. At the heart of Máté Bartha’s research lies the desire to return to the abandoned family home in the center of Budapest, to look once more through the large windows overlooking the Danube. That view—a silent city swallowed by a blinding light—is the fixed point in a life marked by early and absolute loss.
At the age of seven, Bartha lost his father; a year later, his mother died in a car accident while carrying his birthday presents. Since then, Budapest ceased to be just a city and became a "mythology" of interrupted paths, a labyrinth of "what ifs" haunting the artist's dreams.
After years spent searching for a sacred order behind the chaos or a divine explanation for the injustice of fate, Bartha chose to embrace uncertainty. In 2023, he embarked on a pilgrimage through Budapest’s 23 districts, entrusting his path to an algorithm of chance:
A pair of eight-sided dice determined direction and distance, transforming the metropolis into an oracle.
Guided by recorded dreams, old photographs, and his own nightmares, the artist walked to shake "the curse of loss" from his shoulders. In this game of passages, wandering becomes a way to inhabit the present—searching among empty alleys and spiral staircases not just for the ghosts of his parents, but for a new form of security to offer the future.

An Anatomy of Fear takes its title from a 1961 cover of Time Magazine inspired by Munch’s The Scream, and explores the internal and external fears of a generation shaped by uncertainty and instability. Like Munch, the project reflects on the psychological effects of modern alienation and existential unease.
At its core, the work investigates identity as a relational and evolving process, focusing on subjects—particularly adolescents—who exist in a state of transformation, suspended between what they are and what they might become. This tension between form and possibility runs throughout the project.
Produced within an art high school in Italy, the work follows the parallel development of students and their sculptures from the beginning of the pandemic to 2025. The unfinished clay and plaster busts, often covered in plastic to preserve their malleability, appear as bodies in formation—fragile, uncertain, and in flux. Their surfaces, which both reveal and conceal, act as metaphors for an inner condition of becoming.
In this suspended state, time seems to pause. Fear, rather than being paralyzing, becomes a generative force—an essential part of the creative process through which form, before fully emerging, confronts its own vulnerability and finds life within it.

xxx began as a project that aims to explore affectivity as a force capable of generating contact, alteration and proximity. Ideally, the project would like to resemble an affective, imaginative and necessarily non-exhaustive cartography, similar to the Carte de Tendre, published as an accompaniment to Madeleine de Scudéry's novel Clélie, histoire romaine (1654). Looking at the map, we discover that the names of cities, rivers and seas have been replaced by those of emotions, moods and feelings.
Thus, in order to create xxx and a stratification of affections, artists and authors whose research could embody, problematise or expand the curators' questions were involved. The invitation to contributors, in the form of a letter, did not respond to a desire to codify affections as a category of artistic and philosophical research, but to the methodological need to introduce embodied points of view, sensory experiences and forms of imagination into the process.
xxx is the final project of the CAMPO25 curatorial practices course organised by the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, and is the editorial outcome of a dialogue on the theme of affectivity between the ten curators of CAMPO25 and the practices of the artists.

Mazu, the sea goddess who arrived in Taiwan from the Chinese mainland three centuries ago, is seen today not only as the protector of the island’s fishermen and sailors, but as the guardian deity of Taiwan as a whole. Over a period of geopolitical
instability in the region, heightened by U.S. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taipei in 2022, Wei-Lun made this series ofpostcards to ask for Mazu’s protection.
The photographs printed on the postcards document Wei-Lun’s personal journey and his investigation into the impact of Pelosi’svisit on himself and other Taiwanese people around him. In line with the Taoist tradition of burning offerings to gods, Wei-Lun attached stamps made of gold joss paper to the postcards and set themalight, thus delivering them to Mazu.
As Mazu is an important religious figure in both China and Taiwan, Chinese state media has been using this shared connection as an opportunity for propaganda since the late 1990s, emphasising common cultural roots in order to promote the idea of unity between China and the Taiwanese people.
