Despite the current world situation, we are happy to share with you, to make you travel and inspire you at the beginning of this week, the latest installation of French artist and designer Arnaud Lapierre AZIMUT, presented at the end of February in Venice and now postponed due to the current COVID19 outbreak situation.

 

 

AZIMUT offers a defragmented glance at the architectural elements and the sky which overhangs it,  offering to the viewers a dislocated immersion of reality and an abstract contemplation: this installation in autonomous movement composed of 16 magnifying mirror disks, motorized and synchronized, slowly directs the visitor’s gaze towards rambling, decontextualized and slippery elements of the Riva degli Schiavoni and the Palazzo Ducale; in front of the church of San Giorgio Maggiore.

“Operate thenceforth an impression of movement in a loss of balance, of recomposing landscape and a patchwork observation of the architectural mesh, offering the possibility of both detailed and fractional evasion from our environment,” says Arnaud Lapierre.

The installation will be reprogrammed later this year.
