Carlo Bernardini: La rivincita dell’angolo (the corner’s revenge)
For the elevator shafts of the historic wing of the MACRO building, Carlo Bernardini has created an installation, on different floors, consisting of two stainless steel sculptures, placed in the corners of the shafts; a spatial drawing is then created using optical fibres. The installation redraws the areas, literally sculpting the darkness, thus totally changing the perception and completely reconfiguring the space to create a new architecture of light. The real material used in Bernardini’s work is indeed "space", which, shaped by the medium of light, is taken by the hand to “another” dimension: the place of thought.
