ORION, THE BIG HUNTER
Land Art installationfor Materia Prima artist's residence, Ceppaiano, Tuscanynon-fabric tissue, nails, aluminium, LEDs and timers, about 100 x 50 meter, 2015 |
This was my first constellation installation “walkable” made for an immersive experience by bringing visitors to “walk” along lines ranging from a “star” to another and appreciate, imagine and dream about the transposition on the terrain of this little piece of sky.

ORION’S BELT
DETAILS
This installation (and the choice of the Orion constellation) is a tribute to Poggio al Casone, a land of vineyards highlighting the dualistic nature of the wine, with its lights but also its darkest sides, both inseparable parts of the concept of Zoe, indestructible and cyclical life, key concepts at the origin of the cult of Dionysus.
And the dark side it’s given at night, lighting up the stars of the constellation and, for the vernissage with the creation of sound carpets that stars “emit” from within, sounds created by sound designer Massimo Magrini (Bad Sector nicknamed in art) inspired to some characteristics of the stars themselves, creating a dreamy atmosphere that accompanied visitors along the path of the constellation.
