For the Project space of the Golden Thread Gallery a group of eight young Italian artists is confronted on the issue of Inner homeland - quote from the book The Prisoner of Proust's Recherche.

Since the beginning of the new millennium, many artists are working on private matters, not meaning with this only an autobiographical and self-referential approach. The experience has become a vehicle of shared memories, thus gaining a considerable emotional impact in the viewer. In Italy from about 2001-2002 there were many cultural events in this direction, re-evaluating the anonymous and private records, witness to a common past: the documentary film Un’ora sola ti vorrei by Alina Marazzi up to the Home Movies archives of Bologna.

The artists invited to exhibit in Belfast can be grouped into three currents. Those who are already working on the theme of memory, private and collective, like Stefano Minzi, Luana Perilli, Moira Ricci and Beatrice Scaccia; those, instead, for whom this show is a challenge like Ilaria Loquenzi, more inclined to work on the social and to make participatory works, and Alessandro Rosa that usually works with universal linguistic codes, and those, finally, as Alessandro Cannistrà and Emiliano Maggi that through their works already bound to convey different meanings related to ancestral and archetypical memories with nature in its essence in Cannistrà and with almost carnal ties with the animal world in Maggi.

The choice of works, also, allows to cover different mediums of expression, from photography to video, from painting to engraving until installation with a selection of previous works (Minzi, Perilli and Ricci) and the presentation of original works specifically designed for this exhibition (Cannistrà, Loquenzi, Maggi, Rosa and Scaccia).
