“Foscarini makes lamps and this exhibition highlighted their products for the Salone del Mobile trade fair. I programmed theatrical lighting and their own decorative lighting to move in sync to a sophisticated sound score. The room was constantly changing over the course of a nine minute loop. I found a nice video of the project online, which I posted below.”

In an extremely theatrical setting vibrant light sculptures stand out in space like gigantic monuments. The lamps in the collection -- repeated, rotated and repositioned -- have been multiplied to present the nature of every model in a crescendo of emotions. This is Metamorphosis, the Foscarini installation at Fuorisalone 2011, in the Superstudio Più spaces.
