The Affection Lab invites Iuav students from all study programmes and years to participate in Narratives of Desire – Mythologies of Distance, a collective exhibition taking place in Venice and funded by the Iuav Student Senate.
The exhibition explores digital forms of intimacy, with a particular focus on sexting as a space of desire, imagination, distance, and self-representation. Through words, images, voice, absence, projection, and emotion, sexting creates a field where the body is not physically present, but is instead imagined, narrated, performed, and reconstructed.
Deadline for student contributions: August 31, 2026.
