The unusual situation the whole world faced over this past year, forced most of the people to experience an unsettling feeling of suspense. The sequence of Lockdowns, the restrictions of movements, the interruption of daily habits left us with a feeling of fragility, and precariousness, and for many the difficulties or even impossibilities to work properly made us feel closer to Virgil and the other souls that Dante Alighieri suspended in Limbo -the after death place where he left the great but not catholic minds hanging to an eternal wait. At the same time this suspension reawakened the attention on existential issues and pushed humanity to reargue the “Übermensch” attitude we developed as society – and single being – since a way too long time. We became more aware of the consequences this attitude brought, and still has, on our civilization, on the environment, as much as on our psyche. Since many years the work of Spanish artist Lidó Rico and Italian artist Aqua Aura investigate through different media this themes, so to present a dialog between these two artists seems during these times, mandatory. Being also 2021 the 700th anniversary of the death of legendary Italian poet Dante Alighieri, and being his description of Limbo weirdly fitting the feelings inducted by the repetition of Lockdowns, to dedicate to him this exhibition seems absolutely proper. In TRA COLOR CHE SONO SOSPESI (Between those who are in suspense) we propose a dialog between the latest series of works by the meta-photographer Aqua Aura – presenting his dystopic views of a post-nature post-humanity future, where the feeling of void wait seems to be all what’s left; and a selection of works by Lidó Rico referring to the fear of the void created by the lack of survival of the knowledge acquired in life, when confronted to the inexorable flowing of time.
