It explores the paradox of feeling lonely while living in a frenetic society, with billions of individuals, where communication tools are constantly augmented.\nThe virtual world keeps creating new forms of sociability that are redefining the meaning of the word. An entire generation confident that each self is twofold - the real and the virtual, an existence experienced and curated. A colossal technological progress converting walls of zeros and ones into thick brick. While social media acts as an antidote to the suffering caused by loneliness, its users are only dodging the anxiety that interaction can generate. They have become merely actors in a popularity and happiness contest. Spontaneity weakens and individuals, despite being connected to a million people, cannot help feeling lonely.\nInstead solitude, often mistaken for the same status related to lack of companionship, should be taken as a voluntary existential condition. The same information flood and fast-food relationships lead some people to seek shelter within themselves - an oasis of silence in a disturbingly loud fuss. From an isolation from ourselves \u2013 when the blurry line between our true and fabricated personas prevents us from knowing who we really are \u2013 to an inner one, serenity might emerge. Solitude may unfold reflection and creativity, key elements for the development of one\u2019s personality \u2013 so bewildered currently.","space":"The show can be set up in any indoor exhibition space with dimmed light for projection and TV and spots lighting the other artworks. The dimensions may vary from 100m\u00b2 to 120m\u00b2, allowing the possibility of building a temporary wall that creates a corridor (of at least 2m width between pre-existing and new wall and 7\/8m length). The corridor will display Esther Stocker artwork, conveying the disorientation aroused by her boundless space installations.","artists_proposal":"Esther Stocker (Italy) http:\/\/www.estherstocker.net\/\n\nAlejandra Seeber (Argentina) http:\/\/www.alejandraseeber.com\/\n\nFabiano de Martin Topranin (Italy) http:\/\/www.fabianodemartin.com\/\n\nRaissa de G\u00f3es (Brazil) https:\/\/raissadegoes.carbonmade.com\/\n\nMladen Alexiev (Bulgaria) the artist does not have a webpage.
