BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
Today on BSA, we have “A Possible History (of Fishes)”, an unusual and stunning mural by artist HITNES. Adorning the walls of ITC Paolo Toscanelli High School in Ostia, Rome, it is part of the E.C.O. initiative—Ecologia Condivisione Opportunità. Curated by Mirko Pierri and supported by the a.DNA project, the mural invites viewers to explore the intricate connections between nature and humanity through the lens of aquatic life.
A visual narrative spread across two large walls, each scene crafts an interpretive guide for the viewer from top to bottom. HITNES’ distinct style is on full display, characterized by a blend of naturalistic detail and surreal elements. The artist depicts the evolution and history of fish, intertwining real and imagined scenarios that challenge the observer to consider the impact of human activity on the environment. Using a subtle palette and organic forms creates an immersive experience, drawing your attention to the beauty and fragility of marine ecosystems.
Complementing the mural, we have a video by Simone Fedele (below) that captures the essence of the artwork and offers a deeper exploration of its themes. Set to a haunting soundtrack of Eclipta’s “Undersea,” the video brings to life the mural’s narrative, highlighting the interconnectedness of all living things.
