This video introduces the collection and provides a brief overview of the project, its concept, and the reasons behind its creation. Since the artist, Alex Righetto, is Italian, the video is presented in his native language.
Please turn on the subtitles in your preferred language.
The video is designed as a short introduction, giving viewers the essential context they need to quickly understand the project and enter into the collection.
The central theme of the project is the sense of disconnection in a digital world where everything seems more connected than ever, yet we often feel increasingly isolated and less able to truly connect with one another.
The project does not seek to blame or condemn technology. Instead, it uses art as a way to question and explore our relationship with technology, communication, and one another.
Through the paintings and the collection as a whole, the project invites viewers to observe, reflect, and consider how our increasingly digital lives may be affecting the way we experience human connection.
The video offers a brief introduction to these ideas and provides an entry point into the collection. More context and insights into the project are available throughout the website.
In this introduction, Alex explores how Romeo and Juliet can be understood as one of the most powerful metaphors for human incommunicability, and how the inability to truly communicate can affect our relationships.
The project uses Shakespeare’s timeless story as a starting point for a broader conversation about human connection in the digital age. It does not seek to blame technology, but rather to question how it is shaping the way we communicate, relate to one another, and experience intimacy.
Through the paintings, exhibitions, and the wider artistic project, Alex invites the viewer to observe and reflect on these questions.
The video opens the door to this conversation, providing the natural context in which the artworks and exhibitions can be understood. More context and insights into the project are available throughout the website.
