09.06.2026 HARMEN DE HOOP GAVE BIANCOSHOCK AN ASSIGNMENT: MAKE A WORK ABOUT WAR.
BIANCOSHOCK: LA NUOVA CLASSE - CIVITACAMPOMARANO, 2026
In Civitacampomarano, a faded inscription still survises: "W LA NUOVA CLASSE 1926" - Italian for "LONG LIVE THE NEW CLASS OF 1926". It was painted by a group of young men during the medical examinations for military conscription, as this small village was home to the facility where military medical assestments were carried out. The inscription has remained untouched for nearly a century.
The year 1926 carries profound historical significance. 100 years ago, it marked the birth of the generation shaped first by the education and propaganda of the Fascist regime, and later by the rupture of the war. Many of these young people were called up for military service while still in their teens, forced to leave their homeland, while other peoples joined the Resistance. Those who painted that message likely looked toward the future with hope, yet also with the uncertainty and fear for what lay ahead.
The new inscription "W LA NUOVA CLASSE DEL 2026", faithfully reproduces the original in its lettering, scale and technique. By mirroring the earlier work, it estabilishes a dialogue between two generations born a century apart - generations that inherited profound vision of the future.
If 100 years ago, a wall could become a space for expressing collective identity and beloging, then today, in an increasingly digital world, where are the places, gestures and values through which a generation recognizes itself?

HARMEN DE HOOP: POWERLESS - DULLIKEN, 2026
From the comfort of our own homes, we witnessed the Israeli army destroying Palestinian homes in Gaza. The American government condoned it. And there was nothing we could do.
25.04.2026 HARMEN DE HOOP GAVE BIANCOSHOCK AN ASSIGNMENT: DO SOMETHING IRRATIONAL.
BIANCOSHOCK: USA E GETTA - LECCO, 2026
A disposable camera documenting a disposable economy.
"Usa e getta" is the Italian expression for disposable products, literally it means "use and throw away". Biancoshock found a disposable camera produced in 2005 inside a factory abandoned in 2010. He used all the 27 exposures to document the building and then left the camera behind. Inside it remained the images of the factory: photos of abandoned objects, preserved inside an abandoned object within an abandoned place.
The camera and the factory share the same condition: both were designed to be useful, both were abandoned when their uselfulness ended.

03.03.2026 HARMEN DE HOOP GAVE BIANCOSHOCK AN ASSIGNMENT: MAKE A WORK ABOUT COMMUNICATION.
BIANCOSHOCK: THE HOURGLASS - SALICE TERME, 2026
Traffic signs communicate safety and progress. But when they remain for too long, they become lies. The hourglass transforms an operational message - we are working - into a temporal one: we are still waiting. Institutional communication no longer informs, just reassures while nothing changes.
Intervention carried out in front of a construction site abandoned since 2018.
