Ten artists were asked to present their work from 16 to 26 July

The 2nd edition of Rane verso Lago, which took place last year during Lago Film Fest, was born to give an exclusive space to contemporary art and to its young representatives.

The participants were asked to generate ideas inspired by the concept of living with strangers and thus sharing with them feelings about the area and its social matrix, in order to produce a video documentary. Eight young artists from different Italian and European cities took part in this project.
This year some of last year artists will again exhibit their works, their video diary and the developments that were made after the residence ended.

Metaphor of a collective migration of people from different places, all driven by the intent to reunite to one another.
