    This was the first experience with land art for Luca Serasini.
    The Bull constellation and its brightest star, Aldebaran with the Pleiades, seem to be the oldest constellation observed by humans since the Paleolithic period and known by many peoples of the world. So Luca has rebuilded the constellation on the hill so that it was also visible from the sky for the “real constellation”, like a sort of a mirror, of self-image of itself in which it may reflect as well as see itself.

    Perhaps reflecting and see itself. Same thing goes for the lighting of the stars which, in the dark nights when the sky merges with the landscape, it seems to extend the sky up at down to our feet. The bull’s heads are a tribute to the origin of the project, a cycle of works dedicated to this animal figure.
