Her investigation is on love as feeling to be discovered, as motivation to act and as the understanding of the implication which drives humanity in its process towards awareness. It is the going beyond the self to encounter the other, that creates relationship. The relationship is therefore seen as a common space, a kind of laboratory where, without loosing our identity, we aspire to communion.

His research is characterized in the 1980s by the strong affirmative presentiality of matter, represented in the double guise of its “being,” in its immanence and its reference to “thinking itself” in a symbolic key. Since the 1990s, Campus’ work has been fully defined around social issues, seriality, staging, and true/false, using the devices of communication.

Emilio Fantin sets the conditions for a dialectical confrontation between different knowledges. He creates spaces and situations in which he invites people to share the non-geographical area of sleep and dreaming, an area in which intense dynamics of exchange are generated, in search of those special and hidden ties that animate the life of a community. Fantin extends his investigation to coma, a condition where the presence of a diffuse and impersonal consciousness seems to echo most. The latter, which conforms into different states generating continuous epiphanies, is at the heart of his poetics. Closely linked to the theme of consciousness is that of imagination, which he deepens through practices of interior improvisation, which reverberate in the idea of an aesthetics of the unperceivable.
Of his artistic research, Emilio Fantin pays particular attention to the pedagogical aspect; he pays great attention to the dialogue that is expressed as the Art of Conversation and to the concept of Invisible Community, where the poetic and evocative aspects of social living become everyday practice. In addition to various seminars and workshops in international art institutions and museums, he held a workshop on art and architecture in public spaces at the Politecnico di Milano (2005-2015}.

Francesco Candeloro was born in 1974 in Venice, city where he studied and graduated from the Fine Arts Academy and in which he currently lives and works. The artist places at the core of his very personal research the dimensions of light and colour, sign and shape, proportion, rhythm and movement and uses them as keys to deepen spatial and temporal dynamics. For Candeloro “art is a vision of the time”, vision which he translates through the transparencies of the coloured plexiglass, his elective and most congenial material, employed for the realization of the various types of artworks of his articulated production.

Maurice Nio (1959) graduated cum laude as an architect in 1988 at the Faculty of Architecture of the Delft University of Technology on a villa for Michael Jackson, the most curious final project of that year. This project has been of vital importance to his hybrid approach. Through a mixture of mythological and pragmatic mental processes, cryptic and at the same time utterly transparent design strategies, he has realized projects at BDG Architekten Ingenieurs (1991-1996), such as the enormous waste incinerator aviTwente. At VHP stedebouwkundigen + architekten + landschapsarchitekten (1997-1999) he realized the Zuidtangent, the longest highquality public transport line in Europe.
