Alberto Garutti, Ca-Corniani, site specific installtion, Neon

"These lights will vibrate whenever lightning strikes in Italy during thunderstorms. This work is dedicated to anyone passing by who will think of the sky", 2019

Neon
Site specific installation at Ca’ Corniani, Triest, Italy

A large inscription in light—whose letters reproduce Garutti's handwriting— has been installed in the fields on a metal supporting structure. Visible from close by and at a great distance from the roads that cross the area, it is a luminous sign spread out in the landscape.

Through a control mechanism linked with Meteorage – European leader in lightning detection -, the lights of this work will increase in brightness for a few moments whenever a bolt of lightning strikes the territory of Italy.
