De-Sidero

In Aielli, right next to the astronomical observatory, these strange beings give life to the constellations of the southern celestial hemisphere, not visible to us, artistically expanding the space of the observatory. From the Southern Fish to the Greater and Minor Dogs, Orion, the Hare, the Argo ship, the Centaur and the Hydra. The dream figures chase each other in a great dance of colours, overlooking the Fucino valley and giving those who pass by or stop in the square in front of them a moment of participation in a new chimeric universe. The title of the work alludes precisely to the desire to see and know these stars other and different from those we know, distant stars, that are missing from our gaze and that attract us with their mystery. If through the tower we can observe our sky; with art we can, if not directly know, at least imagine or desire this other and distant sky. ( cit. Borgouniverso.com)
