AFTERIMAGE. Where light lingers as presence, 2026

Traveling exhibition project, inauguration date 2026; editorial publication.

Where light lingers as presence

Afterimage begins as a reflection on persistence – visual and mental.
That phenomenon by which an image remains even after the light has gone.

The project takes shape from this threshold:
between what has been seen and what continues to exist without being present.

Conceived and curated by Lorenzo Uccellini at the invitation of Vladimir Martynov,
Afterimage unfolds as a collective exhibition in which each work acts as a trace, a residue, an echo.

At its core – never explicitly stated – remains the figure of Andrey Martynov.
Not as a subject, but as a diffused presence – something that continues to imprint itself through the images and within the relationships that generated them.

The project avoids linear narration and instead moves through layers:
visions, memories, interferences.

In this sense, the exhibition comes closer to a perceptual field than to an exhibition path.

In his essay, David A. Lewis reads Afterimage as a space where the figure of the curator approaches that of the artist – not through a merging of roles, but through intensity of vision.
A device capable of holding together works, presences, and absences without resolving them.

Afterimage does not document.
It does not represent.

It remains.
