ASSUME VIVID ASTRO FOCUS

The term pharmakos (from the Greek φαρμακός) refers to an ancient rite of purification in which a sacrificial victim was chosen as a scapegoat to carry away the ills of the city, simultaneously understood as both remedy and poison. Inspired by this duality, avaf creates a delirious and immersive experience, where windows of color emerge between voluptuous, disobedient bodies—appearing as both light and poison in every city.

In the work of assume vivid astro focus, the sensory experience of the viewer is always central. Paintings, neon, wallpapers, tapestries, and performances intertwine in environments that transcend aesthetic and cultural boundaries. Here, color is conceived as an instrument of transformation: a channel of energy that creates bonds and expands perception. More than a visual element, color ope-rates as a unifying force: connecting people to one another and to the architecture/space in an inclusive and vital way.

The ultimate goal is the creation of energy—to energise both the viewer and the space, dissolving barriers and proposing new forms of coexistence.
