The concept emerges from the idea of capturing the changing and ephemeral nature of the sky and bringing it to the ground. By providing a new context for its observation, the installation aims to highlight the presence and character of the sky as an integral element of the Isola Borromeo Natural Park setting.
Composed of hovering mirrored discs, the installation itself is simply a reflective armature which brings the overhead movements, colours and shapes to eye-level, giving visitors a new perspective and a physical way of experiencing a fleeting phenomenon. The elements of the installation are arranged in plan based on a Fibonacci sequence pattern observed among others in the growth of sunflower seeds.
The resultant composition is therefore both organic and ordered.
The project aims to question the definition and character of what is natural. Using a geometrical pattern and man- and machine-made components it nevertheless blends into and speaks of the natural setting and through its multiple abstractions answers to the themes and goals of Ecoismi.
