CONSCIOUSNESS – ANIMA MUNDI 2026
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association, is delighted to welcome you to the opening of CONSCIOUSNESS. As the second chapter of the ANIMA MUNDI ART FAIR 2026, this exhibition brings together a diverse array of global artists during the 61st Venice Biennale. Hosted in the historic heart of the city, the event gathers a dynamic intersection of painting, photography, and performance, inviting a worldwide audience to explore the depths of contemporary creative research. The opening day will be on June 19, at 06:00 PM.
ANIMA MUNDI is the vital energy that flows through everything, the subtle force that connects all forms of existence, from the natural to the artificial, from the visible to the invisible. It is the living pulse of the world, the rhythm that sustains transformation, coexistence, and renewal. Plato expressed his thoughts about ANIMA MUNDI in the Timaeus, describing the universe – “this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence… a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related”.
Today, this ancient vision returns with renewed urgency: ANIMA MUNDI is not just a metaphysical idea, but an intuitive recognition of the invisible energy that flows through every form, natural or artificial, allowing the planet to live, evolve, and transform. It is the hidden network that sustains ecosystems, connects human and non-human entities, and balances life across time and matter.
How does this universal energy manifest itself today? We invited artists, designers, and architects to take part in a collective exploration of ANIMA MUNDI, investigating the subtle correspondences between soul and body, humanity and nature, organic and synthetic worlds, wild landscapes, and urban architectures.
