The exhibition brings together the work of two artists with very different backgrounds but who find a common ground in experimenting and layering different languages and eras. Kenta Cobayashi with his Smudge series presents a new dimension of the Japanese tradition of Shodo, the art of calligraphy, bringing it inside his photography. The pixels are now navigating on the surface of the photographs to give a new dimension in which the representation of reality is combined with the experimentation of digital techniques. The work of Hiva Alizadeh brings a suggestive contemporary translation of the ancient Iranian technique for making carpets: the art works, composed of the combination of synthetic hair of various colors, become abstract representations of inner landscapes linked to the artist's origin culture.
