The last five minutes of sleep, the moments before waking up completely. In the eyes the first impressions of the morning mingle with images of the leftovers of dreams. This feeling resonates in Federica Perazzoli's large canvases: the soft, seductive landscapes invite the eye to reflect on the imaginary spaces we inhabit.
Irrulence, chaos, impulse. Daniele Innamorato's canvases want to say nothing and represent nothing but energy.
I used to look at your photographs: looking at the photographs of the women in her family in Puglia, portrayed in different special moments in front of the same landscape, Teresa Giannico transforms her memories into art. Neither the faces of the four women nor the landscape are real. They are imagined by the artist who draws inspiration only partially from the wheat fields of Puglia: the entire work is the result of a digital collage of many, many photographic fragments.

Is it really true that Geology is the most romantic of sciences?Can earth sciences contemplate fusion with humanistic contexts? If we are our encounters, can our relationships prove germinative? These are some of the questions that this discussion on the border poses in order to identify new possibilities for the management of an interdisciplinary archive. Double Interview

On occasion of Vogue Photo Festival, Viasaterna is pleased to present Videodiary by Takashi Homma.
Videodiary is a collection of twenty-eight videos recorded daily and edited over weeks, in which the artist recounts the quarantine period last April in his city, Tokyo. The images return to tell us about the city of Tokyo, this time deserted, with the blossoming cherry trees reflected in the water of the Shakujii canal, the monumental skyscrapers tidy and silent, the moon high in the sky every evening; together with the artist's private space with the care of the house, the music that resonates in the rooms, morning yoga, loved ones and their interviews, the garden and its plants. As the frames and days pass, the city awakens, shyly swarming with some noise, illuminated by neon signs, the first planes high in the sky, and the happy voices of children in the park begin to be heard.

How did artists' lives change during quarantine? How did their habits, their feelings, their work change? The suspended air, the dilated spaces, the silences, the dull flow of time. The wait pervaded by a surreal, indefinite glow that scans the lives of the quarantine. We asked a series of artists to tell us about the passage of time from their homes, transformed into temporary ateliers. The life of an artist at the time of the pandemic.

Con-sideratio, in Latin, consists in discovering how the stars assemble to form a sign in the night sky. How, depending on the seasons, they are configured and how their influence, on fixed dates and in a given place, is exerted on men, animals, plants, the flow of the river, the level of the lake, the great tides. In Latin, the stars are called sidera. The sidera bring the seasons, they amaze, as they deter-minate their appearance and disappearance. They signal the rise and fall of beings. Their absence (de-sideratio) is lamented according to the time of the month or the time of year.
