Qualia is the debut exhibition of Fantom Ferment, an international art collective formed by Jasminka Letzas and Annalisa Simonella, including paintings, textiles and costumes.
Through multiple mediums, our work reflects a fascination with the elusive, exploring the notion of the "phantom" as a metaphor for the hidden forces that shape the past, the present, and the future. We delve into the realms of the imperceptible, inviting our audience to acknowledge the invisible inhabitants that coexist with us and in our worlds.
The theme of "fermenting" runs through our collective body of work, symbolising the ubiquitous nature of change. Much like the process of fermentation, our art undergoes transformation, revealing layers of meaning and complexity over time.
