AES+F is pleased to take part in the 10th edition of PhEST – This is us. A capsule to space, an International Festival of Photography and Art in Monopoli, Puglia, Italy.
In response to this year’s theme, This is Us – A Capsule to Space, AES+F presents the single-channel version of Allegoria Sacra (2011). Set in a surreal airport that serves as a timeless transit zone, the work reimagines Purgatory as a metaphor for the suspended state between life, death, and redemption.
Blending Renaissance iconography with contemporary global imagery, Allegoria Sacra reflects on humanity’s hopes, conflicts, and transformations—resonating deeply with the festival’s exploration of identity, time, and the future.
PhEST 2025 brings together a diverse range of artists whose works offer powerful reflections on who we are and what we carry into the unknown.
