Levity II

Projects, Video & Multimedia, Works beyond the sea

The sky is torn and the rain gives the earth an ancient languor of perfumes and sighs, like irreverent music that pays no attention to the twined voices chasing each other, but fills with the breath of the grey air around it… a grey that cannot be challenged or changed, a concrete, material grey that does not brook opposition…

rain that caresses the colours on the ground, slides sinuously on an imperturbable magic, urgently pushes and overturns time… but the unreal invites us, paradoxically, to abandon certainty and embark on a mysterious voyage, beyond time, beyond reason, except that of looking and feeling oneself through the colours of light…

traces of red slow the breath and touch the sight, a red that leaves to tomorrow the time that cancels boredom, that stays the darkness, that holds the light… a red that looses forever the ties of reason and intuits the horizons… words of light, dressed in red, shape the memory, explore the limits, leaving every space undefined, uncontaminated, transparent in its concession of itself and shameless in letting pass… and then, you wonder if that powerful red can sustain your step…

the green colour silently embraces a second look, unravels every mystery of emptiness, giving rise to a slow melody that pacifies the thoughts and helps consume time in the internal spaces, widened by an infinitely light green time… there is no wind, no rain, no heat, no cold… to take or to leave the hand that holds remorse?

Should I exit the blue? Should I open or close what seems unreal? The look seeks a frontier that, fortunately, it cannot reach.

the body rests on the blue, where time does not hold the fine line between sky and sea, inside and out, before and after… there is no pause in the free look, that seeks beyond what is written inside, between one wave and the next, between noise and calm… never and forever they meet to let go beyond the limits of this blue…

the sky is torn and the rain gives the earth an ancient languor of perfumes and sighs, but the joy is that nothing will be like before…

ABOUT THE LUMINARIUM LEVITY II

An innovative modern art installation, “The Luminiarium Levity II” by Architects of Air is a sculpture that people can enter to be immersed in radiant light and colour. Inspired by the beauty of natural geometry and by Islamic architecture, it features winding passages of small domes inspired by repetitious forms found in the bazaars of Iran.

In the daytime, the luminosity of light and colour inside Levity II is created purely by the daylight shining through the coloured plastic. At night, the luminiarium is also illuminated from inside, creating a radiance that people can appreciate from a distance.

Since 1992, the luminiaria of Architects of Air have enchanted over 1.5 million people in 32 countries. The Los Angeles Times wrote, “Upon entering you instantly notice vaulted ceilings that arch towards heaven, creating a sense of grandeur and almost limitless space. The air is washed in colours - reds, blues, greens deepening from soft tints to lustrous jewel tones”.
