For some time now, we have been developing a body of work focused on the human body and its relationship with public space.

Can you imagine hands and legs giving us directions on how to move through the city?

“Human Signage” is an ongoing series composed of large-scale body fragments — legs, hands and arms — made from white translucent fabrics that move with the wind and are illuminated from within with cold light.

The pieces occupy spaces normally reserved for signs, beacons and guidance devices, using the same infrastructures and fixing systems commonly found along roads and urban edges. But instead of transmitting instructions, warnings or commercial messages, they introduce an unexpected human presence into the landscape.

We are interested in transforming places designed to regulate, control and direct our movements into small scenes of light that invite curiosity, reflection and imagination.

We continue reviewing projects we are eager to bring to life while working on the images from our latest piece in Brixen.

When There Are No Leaves Left presents a seemingly simple scene: a leafless tree protected by an illuminated translucent structure, inside which thousands of leaves endlessly swirl, driven by artificial fans.

The piece reflects on our growing inability to coexist with natural rhythms and to accept disappearance, emptiness or decay. Faced with a tree that can no longer produce leaves, we construct a technical system capable of maintaining a false impression of life, movement and abundance.

The leaves no longer fall because of real wind or seasonal change; instead, they move through a permanent and controlled artificial mechanism. Nature is replaced by a continuous simulation designed to avoid silence, stillness or the uncomfortable image of a dying tree.

The installation also reflects on the way we increasingly transform nature into scenery: something that must remain constantly active, attractive and visually consumable. Even the memory of the original tree ultimately becomes a luminous spectacle.

The leaves used in the installation can be real ones collected from the tree itself, or leaves drawn on paper by local residents and visitors, incorporating a collective and participatory dimension into the work.

We already have a new project online.

Caressing Zone is an immersive light installation made up of hundreds of translucent arms and hands suspended above the audience, moving slowly with the wind and softly brushing against those who walk through the space.

With this piece we want to introduce into public space a gesture normally reserved for intimacy: the caress. The installation reflects on softness, care, physical contact, and the presence of bodies inside cities often shaped by hardness, speed, and control.

The arms are made from translucent fabrics similar to white women’s stockings, illuminated from within by a soft cold light and constantly activated by air, movement, and the interaction of visitors.

At a time like this, filling public space with gestures of care and caresses almost starts to feel like a subversive act.
