2026

                                     Echo & Absence

​

In 2026, Luca Galileo Ciuffoletti Desiderio dedicates the entire creative and cultural program to a single unifying theme: Echo & Absence (Eco & Assenza) . Conceived as a transversal axis across all mediums—music, visual art, philosophy, performance, exhibitions, and cultural initiatives—this theme explores the subtle threshold where presence dissolves into its own reverberation. Echo & Absence reflects the core intuition that every artistic act emerges from silence and immediately returns to it; that every form is already a vanishing trace; that beauty reveals itself through what remains unspoken. It is an inquiry into the invisible architecture of perception.

​

Throughout 2026, works, events, compositions, lectures, and collaborations will be shaped by this conceptual horizon. Violin compositions will explore the vanishing edges of timbre, visual works will evoke the tension between appearance and dissolution, and philosophical reflections will illuminate the shifting interplay between presence and the void from which it emerges. Exhibitions, performances, and cultural projects promoted through GALIAS will further expand this vision, inviting audiences into a shared meditation on the nature of transience and revelation.

​

Echo & Absence is not merely a theme, but a guiding principle for a year-long exploration: a way of seeing, listening, and creating. It reminds us that art is born from the interplay between what appears and what withdraws, and that in every echo there is the imprint of the eternal. Through this unified program, 2026 becomes a field of inquiry, a space where all creative forms converge to reflect the same essential truth: that absence is not negation, but the very condition through which meaning becomes audible, visible, and alive.
