White Canvas – by Visualcontainer
The white surface is always a beginning point. Pure and fresh point of view for starting visions. In this selection the white canvas is played like a metaphoric place where things happens, the white stage of life, where is played ours story, habits , or of massive vision of life. It’s a tissue of hidden meanings or caleidoscopic projection, it’s a place where things appearing or disappearing, it’s a fragment of time.

Collective Shades
Today with the digitalization age we share a sense of heritage and commonality with many human beings we have never met. Identity and collective memory’s ideas flows in a mixed common feelings … and what’s happens if the collective memory goes deeper in meanings levels?
It opens up a subliminal scenario where the unconscious explores the deeper meaning of common feelings.
This video selection wants to investigate on in-visible field, on what remains settled into our un-conscious, showing shadow and our shadows, as the mental mapping of places and the mapping of ourselves. Collective meanings, collective memories, collective shades. Curated by Alessandra Arnò
