unshaped - Oratorio San Mercurio, Palermo

Unshaped is an organic installation in continuous movement, a semitransparent floating creature moving in space, shaped by the forces of air and gravity. An underwater landscape, a stormy sky, a wave and then again a cloud, water and air, light or heavy. An orchestra of lights floats in the space transforming the spaces, the baroque frames and the majolica floor, in a sort of aquarium in which water and air dance, among reflections and shadows, multiplying and disappearing, in a fragmented and stroboscopic eclipse.

Unshaped, a prayer written in the language of the technological Renaissance, takes place in the Baroque Giacomo Serpotta's space of the Oratory of San Mercurio, offering the visitor the vision of a sort of a chamber aurora borealis in a mystic transcendental key. A Kubrickian hallucination, if you like, realized thanks to the fluctuating play between the imponderability of the form, never the same, and the dramaturgy of lights, strobes and the sound of the fans, in a vision that is at times shocking and phantasmagorical.
