A site-specific project developed by Giorgio Vigna (Verona, 1955) especially for the Wabi-Sabi in the middle of the third floor of Palazzo Fortuny. Once again, experimentation with the potential of materials – glass, copper and gold as well as waste materials – are at the helm of the artist's research, in which the natural and artificial, the highly imaginative and the sublime meet and clash in works that are suspended somewhere between the possible and imaginary. The exhibition is divided into eleven moments, eleven different “stations” or moments of meditation in which the material becomes either light or heavy, incandescent in colour, taking on a deceptive consistency or ancestral forms.
