At a time of crisis like this, everything is at stake, even the future that awaits us. Each envisions a possible way out, and all these visions must coexist, not because all realistic, but because each of them gives rise to a feeling useful to understand. No matter if these visions will materialize or not, because we need what is needed while still it is not, just as we need to figure out like possible what after a minute will not be more. We are fascinated by the process of the crisis, and we want to tell it through the language of art.

"we expect a shock from a center that no longer exists. We are in a narrow passage that smothers enthusiasms and passion. But the future always comes, but you never know when and how." (Franco Arminio).
