"This site specific project refers to the spiritual history of the building that hosts GAMeC – a former convent, whose arched windows the artist has mirrored with replicas which radiate a solid RGB blue. The bright LEDs that shine through the seven Alien Blue Windows produce a spatial experience that is strikingly visual, evoking both a primordial ocean, and symbolic skies prominent in much religious imagery. Consisting of backlit, imageless screens, this new series is a hybrid of paintings and light installation. The immersive environment it produces evokes a digital hue prevalent on the Internet, which here generates an experience that is both spiritual and sensual, thus transcending color’s physicality. As it permeates the Spazio Zero, the intense blue light recreates the view from a window opening onto artificial skies where allegory and technology intertwine."
