In artist’s work, innocence clashes with experience, and every muted colour, hidden face, or subtle gesture carries a perception of delicacy in contrast with a strong unspoken.

Between the neon-lit Milan of the early 2000s and the unflinching intimacy of confession, Vera Nevi builds a literary world where domination becomes a metaphor for self-knowledge rather than control. Finché nessuno muore transforms the true story of a young girl becoming a dominatrix into an exploration of fragility, loneliness, and truth.

“Online, I want the work to live forever” he affirms when asked about how his work interacts differently within the digital and physical realm. Having a foundation as a sculpture, it was through programming that artist Damon Zucconi first started to evaluate words as the raw material from which to shape his coded-based art: a shift of paradigm that brought him to view text as a matter with its own agency.

Berlin hums with unfinished echoes, a city built on fractures and in-betweens. At Monopol, Ballet Sur_real fuses dance and installation in Modalities of Me. Five figures embody power, chaos, fragility, and ferality, exploring desire, intimacy, and identity through club culture, digital life, and hyper-capitalist pressures. A body becomes a question, a space becomes alive, and identity splinters into light, sound, and shadow.

Berlin Atonal closed its latest edition just weeks ago, leaving behind more than a festival of electronic music and experimental art. Returning from the city, clarity emerged: this year was a meditation on Berlin itself—its history, its architecture, its ghosts. More than performances or installations, Atonal revealed how a space becomes alive, how risk defines art, and how presence transforms encounter.
