A certain air of playful nostalgia is present in Cinzia Sarto's poignant "Una Sporca Vacanza." Winner of several awards and nominations, Sarto cinematically presents a universal reality which our future generations face. Cinzia Sarto's narrative approach finds it's inspiration in her origins as a cineaste. Using reality as her "sets" along with sound and playfully composed imagery; her compositions almost can appear as surreal.

Carolina Sardi's "Walking towards Water" is evocative instead. Sardi's career as an artist has evolved as a sculptor. She obtained a MFA in Sculpture in her native Argentina under the tutelage of Enio Iommi. Sardi builds with inert materials visually pulsating non-objective sculptures, however, in her videos she produces quite the opposite sensation, one of eternal staticness.

Daniela Perego in "Loro" and "Loro II" mirrors the essence found in both works of Sarto and Sardi: a relentless search for awareness. Perego's narrative in her work can only be interpreted through the viewers' emotional charge. Without being autobiographical she is always present in her photography. The compositions have as background vast landscapes which are reminiscent of Caspar David Friedrich's sublimity. Perego's videos, however, use models and are completely devoid of place. In her videos whiteness engulfs the subject isolating it from physicality, the composition, therefore, becomes an extraction of reality. With short recordings looped infinitely Daniela Perego presents a story, but one that ultimately is composed and narrated by the viewer.

The search for the essence of human intentions, which can be flawed beyond any hope of redemption or simply eternally innocent, serves as the core for each artist's narrative strategy present in this exhibition.

Douz and Mille promotes emerging artists through independent curatorial
projects in a variety of spaces.
