It is the condition individuals face today, the feeling that the global situation conveys—a profound uncertainty about the future. We move forward by trial and error, taking small steps, yet the boldest among us leap ahead without any clear sense of how the world will react, often encountering responses that are equally surprising in positive and negative ways. Trends are endless, fashions shift rapidly, people grow weary quickly: there is an exaggerated need for change, for renewal. This is the fluid world we inhabit—constantly transforming, with its pace accelerating.

This concept inspires the cycle at Spazio Menexa, which seeks to investigate the courage required to reveal a world in transformation, and the effects these changes have on the inner life of individuals. Darkness—meaning not the absence of light, but a fundamental part of each of us—is a defining element of our character. Everyone carries a personal darkness, a facet that sometimes surfaces but often remains concealed.

In dialogue with Ventinovegiorni, Salto_nel_buio positions itself in the dark portion of the sky, when the moon yields to the stars and the night allows the imagination to wander, probing the most hidden and mysterious spaces of the self. For appearing or not appearing often conceals our deepest truths. The courage to leap into the unknown is what distinguishes the boldest and most determined spirits—those who present themselves as explorers of new horizons and who, especially in times of crisis such as the present, emerge as signs of new possibilities.

The artists participating in the cycle will explore and reveal all the paths that the courage to dare may open—or the constraints it may impose.
