The poem at war is an interdisciplinary work of art created by artists from Russia and Mexico, provides a metaphorical point of view on the strange times of the pandemic, which violated the existing reality of civilization.

Dance and cinematic language bring poetry, sound, and movement into a single experience.
The dandelion appears simultaneously as flower and sculpture. Through shifts between micro and macro scales—and through the choreography of plants, wind, and birds—the work reconsiders the human position within nature.
The poem by Juan José Díaz Infante consists of lines that appear to have been shattered, leaving fragments from which the story of two lovers—now become sand—can only be partially reconstructed.

Venus Ray Jr. created music that dissolves in both bodies, and bodies themselves dissolve in the atmosphere.

The sculpture by Vitaliy Altabaev makes you feel the real scale of human in nature.
