“After his solo exhibition at Cadogan Contemporary in London, Cicconi created a site-specific monumental installation dedicated to the phenomenon of refraction. Investigating the relationship between matter and light, the artist continues his research on art and science, space and time. The new installation is a triangular prism that manifests a dual identity. The sculpture by day absorbs the surrounding energy, reflecting the space around it. At sunset this begins to dissolve and reaches complete transparency during the night. When illuminated, the large glass plates take their colours from the phenomenon of the Northern Lights. What used to be ‘mirrored shields’, which delimited space, now unites everything. Real colours of the aurora borealis were coded and these artificial datas were put into the huge glass plates. The glass plates begin to glow emulating polar light. The lights are programmed with a small computer. An intelligence that reproduces all the colour scales that humans can only see in the two terrestrial poles. It is a glowing effect, more than a real Aurora. In fact, you will see the aurora stuck into the glass plates, more than see it in the sky”. __________________ EDOARDO DIONEA CICCONI "150-93" 2022 glass, metal, electronics 90 x 90 x 300 cm (h) __________________ Hundreds of people made the trip to #Favignana (Sicily) for the unveiling of the installation, thanks to the vision of Jacopo Pizzicannella @jacopini , 'picnic affair' @picnic_affairr , the local institutions and Maria Abramenko @mariabramenko.
