The artists featured in this show try to dominate chaos, passing beyond the limits of bodily sensations while at the same time attempting to 'embody' it in form and image, penetrating its mysteries and riddles.

Striking a delicate balance between poetry and science, their work lives on the edge, moving between the internal and the external, between here and elsewhere. “In the loss of centrality, in the infinite network of connections and commutations, the artist, indeed, the work itself experiments and plays, forever establishing new rules, mixing genres, quickly shifting through time, reprogramming the world”.
David Coltro's innovative work can be defined as ‘hyperstructure’, or a type of system which can be remotely updated, receiving new works from the artist via his digital studio. Paolo Consorti creates a fantastic panorama which transforms daily life into a supernatural, alien world, a kind of contemporary hyperrealism, overloaded with Baroque motifs. The work of Daniele Girardi is the fruit of his poetic research which aims to study the blending of various techniques. The artist approaches chaos as a type of visual disorientation caused by the overwhelming presence of the mass media which is used to change the nature of art work, in the process discovering new scenic territories. Diego Scroppo's work is a three-dimensional penetration into the Origin of Life, a hybrid of maintenance and content, of pictures and their foundations. Scroppo uses various scenic models (liquid and solid abstraction) which he replicates, destroys, stretches and layers one over another. The resulting work resembles the paradoxical appearance of those life forms that are born in the darkest depths of the ocean where the radical environmental conditions induce nature to create the impossible. Scroppo conducts his own research in the realm of the impossible, studying a kind of unearthly, Martian neoclassicism as a surreal peculiarity.
