Light pillars

The column is the foundation, the place of human verticality traversed since Greek art, by that same force that flows in the tree, an element of the union of the two heavens: one above us and the other under our feet in the opposite hemisphere. The work investigates the spatiality of light and color between architecture and environment, between special and natural effect; in the mimetic play of the material used - the hologram, which on the one hand breaks down light into the colors of the spectrum, and on the other hand brings it back to the solidity of a fluted column, or the stem of a tropical plant such as the Rainbow Eucalyptus for example. The installation consists of 7 polyurethane hologram columns arranged along the forecourt of the Museum's 15th-century cloister, which hosted it during the solo exhibition "The Sun is New Every Day."
The plastic connotation of the material, allows one to enter into the dynamics of refraction and reverberation of light, which is broken down into the colors of the spectrum. In doing so, color is a perceptual element, the 'real happening that continuously changes with the passage of time. The presence of the viewer is another, always new variation of intensity.
