From September 4 to October 11, the project titled Sub limine – The power of creation will be on display at the Luisa Catucci Gallery. The exhibition explores the boundaries between reality, perception, and symbolism through the works of two Italian artists, Loris Cecchini and Andrea Mastrovito. Although they come from different artistic backgrounds, they share a poetic approach focused on the constant transformation of reality through a visionary language.

The other themes addressed by the two protagonists, Andrea Mastrovito and Loris Cecchini, are also highly relevant: the ambiguity of historical memory, the upheaval of traditional conceptions of the body, and the infinite, uncontrollable potential of human imagination supported by new technologies.

On the occasion of the exhibition, NYsferatu – Symphony of a century by Andrea Mastrovito will be screened following the opening on September 4 at 9:30 PM at Kino am der Königstadt, Straßburger Str. 55, Berlin, with a live soundtrack by Thee Balancer feat. Matjö.

A meeting of worlds

The dialogue between Mastrovito’s and Cecchini’s works generates a reflection on the body and nature, as well as the interaction between the organic and inorganic, the living and the artificial. Although dealing with different subjects, the works complement each other by highlighting the endless possibilities of transformation and the constant tension between limits and transcendence.

The exhibition Sub limine – The power of creation presents two highly contemporary artistic visions and offers a unique opportunity to explore the depths of imagination and artistic creation, where the boundaries between the natural and the supernatural blur, generating new connections between art, life, and our everyday experience.

Loris Cecchini – The developed seed

Loris Cecchini’s The developed seed explores the evolution of the seed as a metaphor for growth, potential, and metamorphosis. The work represents an expanding world in which the natural element, while preserving its organic essence, is reinterpreted in a nearly abstract and technological dimension. Cecchini plays with sculpture, matter, and space, creating a dialogue between nature and artifact that prompts reflection on the relationship between humans and the natural world, on humanity’s ability to develop and shape its surroundings. Sowing and growth are, for the artist, moments of transformation that reveal themselves in a continuous tension between potential and realization. His work questions the cycle of life and the responsibility we bear in giving form and substance to what is coming into being.

Andrea Mastrovito – NYsferatu: Symphony of a centuryx

The film NYsferatu – Symphony of a century, entirely created by Andrea Mastrovito, takes on one of the most powerful and unsettling themes in popular culture: the image of the vampire — a symbol of darkness that eclipses the light of reason. NYsferatu is not merely a reinterpretation of the famous silent film, but a deeper exploration of the nature of evil and fear — elements that permeate the video’s compositional structure.

Mastrovito transforms horror iconography into a work that invites the viewer to reflect on the human condition, on the boundary between life and death, and on the inescapability of a fate that endlessly repeats itself. Through the use of materials, techniques, and forms that blend tradition and modernity, the artist creates a visual atmosphere that transcends the simple notion of fear, offering instead a meditation on existence and our fragile human state.
