List of artists: ( In order of presentation) ‍

Naomi Livia (USA) formerly Ben-Shahar, is an artist working across photography, video, installation, and text who recently moved to Paris. Her research-based practice explores cosmology, language, and systems of knowledge, often blending speculative inquiry with experimental image-making. Through layered narratives and visual structures, her work examines how meaning is constructed and how humans relate to time, space, and the unknown.

Elisa Abela (Italy, 1980) is an artist working across drawing, painting, artist books, video, and performative practices. Her work frequently centers on animals, presented as solitary figures and alter egos that resist symbolic interpretation and instead function as autonomous presences. Often accompanied by short textual statements, her images construct open-ended narratives that explore ambiguity, identity, and the shifting boundary between human and non-human experience. 

YUE Lingjun (China) develops a practice at the crossroads of photography, video, and installation. Her work is rooted in a sensitive yet rigorous investigation into the relationships between personal narratives, migratory histories—particularly those of plants—and the complex interactions between humans, environments, and technologies. Her approach is characterized by a keen attention to transformation processes and the modes of coexistence between the living and the artificial. By treating each shot as a form of intervention—conceived as a ritual or a silent performance—she constructs visual situations that shift perceptual frameworks and invite an active reading.

Mariana Hahn (Germany) is a multidisciplinary artist working across performance, video, painting, and installation. Her practice explores the relationship between the body and the transmission of memory and knowledge, using materials such as salt, copper, and bodily traces as carriers of experience. Through performative gestures and material processes, she investigates how memory is embedded in matter and how the body mediates between space, time, and transformation.
