Impressions of Faces at the Steelbloom Award

Impressions of Faces is entered in the Installation category of the Steelbloom Award. Public voting closes on 8 October 2026 at 23:59. The fifty highest-ranked works will advance to the technical jury.

The video installation is the outcome of the participatory performance held at Musei Civici di Pesaro. Around two hundred silent video portraits, each lasting 49 seconds, preserve a moment of encounter and self-reflection. Shown continuously, the faces form a collective presence.

If you appreciate the project, you can vote for it on Artiqo under Impressions of Faces — Alessandro Vicario. Google or Facebook sign-in is required, together with at least three votes overall: this work and two others you appreciate.
