    A Space Gallery, Salizada Santa Giustina 2930, 30122 Venice, Italy
    In MINORIA: The Active Image, Blaze Lojewski’s paintings become Tools: active structures that do not simply present form, but awaken it within the viewer’s consciousness. The exhibition explores Psychism as a field where perception, projection, and self-recognition become part of the image itself.

    A Space Gallery, Salizada Santa Giustina 2930, 30122 Venice, Italy
    The image does not fully emerge. It lingers at the threshold, where form begins to appear only to recede again. What remains is not an image, but a trace — held in a state of quiet suspension, before it takes shape.

    A Space Gallery, Salizada Santa Giustina 2930, 30122 Venice, Italy
    The third chapter of Minoria emerges not through a planned gesture, but through an encounter with form already present. On the Lido, an unexpected accumulation of shells became a found trace — a deposit of matter, time, and presence.
