Singapore International Photography Festival 2022

The Embassy of Italy participates at the Singapore International Photography Festival 2022, supporting How Things Dream by Discipula, an ongoing project blending texts, imagery and audiovisual material curated by He Yining.

The display is based on an imaginative, post-democratic future, dominated by a fictional multinational tech empire called AURA. Integrated into every facet of daily life, AURA turns every iota of human sentience and behaviour into surveillable and commodifiable data. The project would be present from 16 September to 30 October 2022 at 37 Emerald hill.

DISCIPULA is a collective of Italian artists operating in the field of contemporary visual research founded by Marco Paltrinieri, Mirko Smerdel and Tommaso Tanini.

The artists regard images as political and economic tools – means of power and control whose ambiguous nature can be controlled to determine shifts in the perception of reality. With regard to this, particular attention is paid to the role of the viewer as well as to the act of looking as a form of political conscience.
