Alessandro Di Lorenzo, from Matera (IT), lives and works in Paris. His practice spans sculpture, drawing, installation and video, unfolding in a hybrid space between the real, the imaginary and the symbolic. Rooted in metamorphosis, his work explores encounters with sensitive environments that open new possibilities of co-dependence. His recent pieces take the form of speculative docufictions, presenting interdependencies between humans and non-humans, biological forms, and both modern and ancestral technologies. They investigate vernacular rites and marginal realities in southern Italy, revealing the role of alternative cosmogonies in contemporary society.

Richard Maguire lives and works in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. His practice examines power relations shaped by the intertwined histories of race and sexuality between Britain and South Asia. Through theoretical and material assemblage, he foregrounds overlooked elements in archival ephemera and material culture, revealing how parallel forms of oppression have reinforced one another. His work, often in small-scale mimetic drawings, negotiates the historical absence and representation of sexualities and their entanglement with exploitative economies, political movements and key historical figures.

Anaïs Horn, born in Graz (AT), lives and works in Paris and Lunigiana (IT). Her multidisciplinary practice moves fluidly across media, creating intimate, often site-specific settings. Her work traces the tension between presence and absence, where personal narratives—autobiographical fragments, rites of passage or the biographies of historical (female) figures—evolve into broader reflections on contemporary existence and how memories and (her)story/stories echo through the spectral presence of objects and spaces. She frequently introduces elements of illusion and mystery, situating her work within a space of the in-between.
