Blue and Joy: The Angle of God (2013)

Opened July 27th and open until the 14th of September 2013 with the following schedule: Monday to Saturday from 4.30 pm to 7.30 pm. and on appointment (tel. + 39 0583 469490). Church of San Matteo, Piazza San Matteo 3. Lucca

The artwork is installed on the pavement of the Church of San Matteo, in the central nave: the light filtering in from the rose window will refract on it offering a true epiphany to visitors. Three round kaleidoscopic mirrors, which segmented, broken and painted, will generate their own visions from their fragments, allowing all to observe the same image of light and color at three different times and in three different “solar phases” on the opposite wall.

“The Angle of God” is a reflective and chromatically revealing device; by being an archetypal mandala, it announces the divine presence in the same light of creation and of vision. An immaterial, vibrant corner which, similarly to a literary “green ray”, will be a performing act of sculpture, positioned on the ground, radiates its image that at the same time, almost miraculously, coinciding with its own message. Blue and Joy have calculated that on July 27th, between 5.17 and 6.30 p.m. the sun’s rays will shine into the church: by working on the sunbeam’s projected movement they have been able to create this unprecedented project which also includes other recent works that have defined their research.
